Well, if you're going to write a game, you're almost certainly going
to do it in a mostly event-driven fashion (unless you were planning on
using a thread per game-entity ;-), so that argument against Twisted
doesn't work. In fact, Twisted could probably help you with
non-network-related things, since it offers lots of goody helpers for
event-driven programming that Pygame doesn't.
