SDL is written in C. To use C libraries in python you need some sort of
"wrapper" or "interface". You can only call functions that the wrapper
supports. In the case of SDL and pygame, I believe I've got just about
every function covered. (well there is some stuff with SDL_Overlay that
pygame doesn't support).

There are also many extra libraries for SDL written in C. Pygame supports a
few of the main ones (like SDL_mixer, SDL_ttf, and SDL_image). But that
does not mean you will be able to use any SDL library with pygame.
