Crikey, PyWeek really is that close. Unfortunately it is all perfectly reasonable. The counter-argument is that using pyglet during pyweek would be a good way to test its capabilities. Perhaps an acceptable compromise would be to allow use of a snapshot of pyglet, with the caveat that it is not officially released and that there are unlikely to be any bugfixes during that time.
