I agree with Bruce. For our software (psychopy) we use the pyglet's
multi-display handling a great deal and it would be a shame to see it go
away. On 1.1.4 we use this code:
allScrs =
pyglet.window.get_platform().get_default_display().get_screens()
if len(allScrs) > requestedScreen:
screen = allScrs[requestedScreen]
Although the pyglet call looks long and contrived, it seems to work
correctly on all systems (we have over 2000 active users and I'm sure
someone would have complained if multi-screen handling didn't work on their
system).
