ptext surely does make using txt nice.

It solves many of the main problems with the main pygame API(s).

Thanks everyone for contributing to the list. Lots of things I didn't know about before,

and a few that I'm going to try and use in the next ludumdare/pyweek coming up.

I collected all the comments from (reddit, discord, twitter, pyweek forum) here:

cheerio,

What are some awesome libraries for pygame?

available via pip

documented (with examples, and API docs)

generally awesome for some reason (even if not perfect, maybe it has potential)

I'll start with a few...

pyscroll. Scrolling maps. Fast scrolling images easy.

pyTMX. Reads Tiled Map Editors TMX maps. Can use a Map editor easily.

pyinstaller. Make installers for different platforms. Very easy to use to make installers.

pymunk. 2d physics library. Lots of examples, very well maintained.

What's awesome or almost awesome?

ps. I also asked over on the reddit.
