Hey Rene, I was involved in Google Summer of Code a while back but I haven't been a student for a while. Now my girlfriend is studying Computer Science and is looking for a Python project to propose for GSoC. Do we have mentors for pygame for this coming summer, and is the scope of this project something that would be a good fit?
I remember in the past the pygame ctypes and then pyglet came out of Alex Holkner's GSoC involvement.
