I'm listening! I have to say, I've been somewhat taken aback by the enthusiasm for Squirtle. The original release (all of two months ago) was really just me putting out some code I'd been playing with, so that people could have a go at using it in Pyweek. It's evolved a bit since then, but I still see it as pretty much a toy project. That said, I am still working on it, and certainly think that some of the suggestions that have been made will be filtering into new releases over the coming weeks and months. Certainly, a tighter coupling with Pyglet's excellent, if slightly arcane, system of groups and batches would be a great idea, and it's one I'm going to look into when next I have some time to work on it. On the other hand, ideas like integrating fully into Pyglet, I think are largely pipe dreams. Squirtle is very much currently in flux, and while it's reasonably stable for inclusion of a single version in projects, it's not really stable enough from an API perspective to be merged into a backwards and forwards compatible library, and nor would I wish it to be so right now. I'm still very much playing with the interface. The point about a formal project page is well taken, and I'll do something about that over the next few days. I am somewhat bemused by the idea of "packaging up" Squirtle - it's currently a single .py file. How much more packaged do you want it? Anyway, thanks again for your interest in the project, and please don't take my skepticism the wrong way. I really am interested in what users would like from Squirtle.
