Actually, we created a Python package that was specifically made for
this purpose, which is also heavily based on PyGame
(http://expyriment.googlecode.com). In fact, PyGame is very suited for
these kind of things, since it handles most important aspects
regarding stimulus presentation and user input. If you think about it,
at a certain level, experiments and video games are have a lot in
common. And PyGame is a superb package for game programming in Python.
So for most people who want to write experiments in Python, the first
stop will always be PyGame.
