Hi

Gummbum and I didn't like the numpy dependency of ptext, therefore we wrote a pygame only version: pygametext.py

It does the same as ptext but using only pygame as dependency. If you want to be sure, there is also a comparer script that renders the output of both so it can be compared.

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.
