You can see what we have at:It's enough to run some non-trivial games without major changes, on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android, although it's probably closer to pygame 1.8 then 1.9. I'm currently working on iOS support, after which nightly builds will start coming out. At some point, we'll be exposing new features based on SDL2, while still trying to hew relatively closely to the pygame API, so people's existing code and experience can be preserved.* I think it makes sense to drop support for surfaces with depths of less than 32bpp - doing so is a big simplification.
