you are correct, pygame uses some of the 2.0 features.
there is an install document tucked inside the docs directory.

the setup script does try to check for python 2.0, but i
guess if the script doesn't parse it can't get to the the
version check :[

at this point, looking back, i think it would be pretty
easy to go back and fix the code to be compatable with 1.5.2
(no unicode, etc, the magic of #ifdef)

unfortunately, i'm a big fan of the new assigment operators and
list comprehensions. have to chop them out of the examples.

anyways. if it sounds like it would be a worthwhile effort
i don't think it would be too out of reach. on the other hand,
is there anything specific keeping you back from 2.0? when
building the library, i was thinking it would be reasonable
for pygame to be locked into the latest version of SDL and Python.
(or is it?)
