Presumably the textures have an alpha channel. If so, that would seem possible to hide that requirement from the developer by making the excess invisible and checking collisions outside OpenGL. It might be useful to have optional exceptions for inefficient sprite sizes (defaulting to off, perhaps looking at an environment variable? I'm not sure where would be best to put that flag in Python), if doing that (and similar things for other cases where it's a problem) has a significant impact on performance. That way it would be in dropable and presumably give some immediate improvement, but you could go back and fix up where required to get more speed later.
