Hi Luke, Thanks very much! I do need some GUI widgets as well, so reckon I might try PyGame with OpenGL as you suggest, and go for a basic GUI library for PyGame. After looking round, I'm now having a closer look at Phil's Pygame Utilities (PGU - www.imitationpickles.org/pgu/ which seems pretty good so far!

I think if you used PyOpenGL + Pygame you could have vsync. pygame itself might have an option for this. Displaying lots of bitmaps may be painful in a GUI toolkit.
