I think that ties in with the discussions in the other thread about supporting SDL 2 and hardware-accelerated rendering, but I don't understand all the relevant pieces well enough to know if that work will help with this.

I have integrated with Steam but using different wrapper. This looks quite impressive. Unfortunately pygame is a raster engine and Steam overlay will not work on raster engines according to documentation. I would love to have overlay but i think you would have to render your game to surface in openGL to achieve this. Please someone correct me if there is simple way for that.

I just came across this, a Steam client library for Python, with functions to use Steam's services for things like finding other players and recording achievements:

Has anyone tried building a game in Python with this kind of Steam integration?
