For compilation have you tried CeGCC? (http://cegcc.sourceforge.net/)

Christopher and Jared,
Thank you for your comments. Christopher would you agree about the
sluggishness once pygame is running on a PDA? I suppose I am not too
bothered at the moment. For my purposes just being able to access
audio and drawing to screen would be fine - though I'm sure sooner or
later speed will be needed too.
One additional obstacle I face is some extra fiddling to get the
compiling done on PellesC (I do not own VS and I believe the free
version does not support WinCE compilation).
Anyhow, I will attempt to get something working, and if it gives
respectable results I will report back.
Thanks again for your input.

There has been recent discussions about this, but at current I
don't bieleve there is anything available.
With respect to SDL and pygame it should be fairly easy to get the
various python modules compiled. There have been a couple of
releases built for PythonCE in the past and I've personally
compiled from source a couple of times.
The SDL project has an additional ZIP file that contains Windows
CE (Pocket PC) compatible project files that will allow you to
build a suitable dll.
If you look at the distutils based installation files for the
pygame distribution you can determine which source files need to be
compiled into the various python modules (*.pyd). What I did was
then manually create project files for Visual Studio to build
these DLLs (you will need a source release of PythonCE itself for
this, as to build a module you will require the python header
files).
Once I had all the pygame dlls compiled it was then simply a
matter of copying them to the correct folder on the PDA. There was no
registry settings etc involved.
One thing to keep in mind is that some of the sample apps within
the Pygame distribution won't work on a PDA without minor
modifications. For example they commonly request a window size
which is larger than the PDA's screen, and don't account for the
lack of current working directory support when specifying file
names for bitmap resources etc.
Hope this helps,
Christopher Fairbairn
