What I would like to see is some higher level code that is "standard"
either rolled in to the base Pygame distribution, or else as a
second download.

I get the feeling that there is a lot of wheel invention going on
out there.

My own wheel (whether it rolls or not) is here:

Probably, everyone who makes a game starts out by creating some
base classes. It may be that each game is so different that there
can be no further factoring that just plain Pygame, but I do
not think that is the case.
