It's not technically possible to have a cross-platform GUI toolkit
that works well with pygame UNLESS the toolkit is also written in
pygame. Effectively, if you want multiple windows and native
widgets,
you can't use pygame.
There are platform-specific exceptions (i.e. you can use Cocoa with
pygame on Mac OS X, just not in the same window), but SDL (the
toolkit
behind the core of pygame) makes no guarantees about any
compatibility
with other toolkits now or in the future and it doesn't currently
allow for multiple windows.
Not to major a problem.The main engine isn't in Pygame.Pygame
links to
the engine.I could use Tkinter to program the engine,then the Pygame
program loads it as a module.Easy solution.First step for me,
learn Tkinter.
You could use wxPython and run a Pygame session (is that what it's
called?) inside the application window.
