Hello,
Pyglet is much, much, much easier to use than pretty much any other of
the libraries out there. I don't know about touch screens, but for sure,
Kivy works on touch screens. But to say it is complex is putting it
mildly. I wish pyglet had 5 platform support like Kivy, but I don't know
how to make that happen sadly.
I am pretty sure I know what you mean by running from the console, and I
believe it does this (You can have a console running in the background).
Pyglet is super lightweight and is much more like a real game engine
should be, not like pygame.
Thanks,

I'm in the early phases of trying to decide between Pyglet and PyGame.
I have very little GUI programming experience. I write web
applications but for my current needs web interfaces are too heavy and
have too much latency.
I bought a book on PyGame and started trying to make something with it
but I found the API wasn't very Pythonic (in my opinion) and felt like
I might as well be using C++ for the performance gains since it was
already a pain to use. But I looked at Pyglet and the API seems much
better to me. I'm just unsure if it can do what I need.
1. Can Pyglet be used to create applications which run from the
console (ie direct to frame buffer) without X Windows to avoid
overhead.
2. Is Pyglet hardware accelerated on most computers?
3. Is Pyglet hardware accelerated on the Raspberry Pi 2?
4. Can you point me to any projects which use Pyglet so I can gauge
performance?
5. In a windowed environment can Pyglet get and set the window
location so that when it launches the Window can be put back where
it was last time?
I have two main kinds of applications I want to make. One is simple
touch screen (non-multi touch) interfaces with big buttons and sliders
for gloved fingers on industrial equipment. Standard GUI toolkits
don't work well for this because they all seem to be built assuming
you have a keyboard and mouse. The other is to display gauges on
industrial equipment which requires several layers of overlapping
transparent images. For example think about the face of a
sophisticated watch with a date dial, power meter, and such. This page
has examples of the kind of complex dials.
