If it is not possible with pygame, i'll do it with glade, but i want to
know first if it is possible.
It's certainly possible, although doing it with the facilities
provided directly by pygame is a little tedious. You would
need to read keystroke events, maintain an input buffer, and
take care of updating the screen whenever a character is
typed.
There are a few GUI libraries available for pygame that you
might like to look at. Some are listed here:

There's also one that I wrote:

It has an extremely minimal appearance, which may be a good
thing for you as it wouldn't detract from whatever appearance
you want to give your game.
