Re: [Pysdl-devel] Future of pySDL

[Peter N. <pn...@ya...>]

Hi,

Whatever happens with pySDL, it seems like it makes
sense for pygame to be linked to from libsdl or
wherever else.  Maybe Pete Shinners is holding off on
that at this stage so he can have a little more
freedom to make sweeping changes in it.

The modular framework of pygame seems like a good idea
and Mark Baker pretty much opposed that, so that's
something differentiating the two.  also Mark had some
interesting ideas like making pysdl more accessible
from c code so games could be mostly written in
python/pysdl and then parts could be more easily moved
to c.  too bad it might never happen, but I guess
people disappear from scenes all the time.  or maybe
he'll come back and work on it more, who knows. 

One thing about pygame that I appreciate is Pete
Shinners seems to want people to be able to get it
running on different machines without a huge ordeal. 
his effort to get it working with distutils so that
wouldn't have to be a total nightmare is pretty
thoughtful.
