OpenGL provides many ways to scale a 640x480 viewport up to a higher
resolution, with or without aliasing (I suspect in this use-case you'd
prefer the aliasing).

It will be a happy day when a Python application is fill-limited, and
not CPU bound!

pyglet provides excellent windowing support, including full mouse and
keyboard exclusivity... a game with fixed resolution smaller than the
display will happily run inside a window.
