Hi,
Note: there are the pysdl2 wrappers here:
http://pysdl2.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
There is also a guide "pysdl2 for pygamers" which shows which API calls in
pygame map to which calls in pysdl2.
http://pysdl2.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorial/pygamers.html
I'd like to make a pygame compatible API layered on top of that work
(however, maybe someone has started that already)... But that would take at
least a whole month of full time hacking to complete. Someone could
probably hack together a prototype in a week which would run many current
pygame games though (PyWeek project?!?). I'm currently aiming to take a
month or two off around September to complete this and the new website.
