Pygame is a Python framework originally written by Pete Shinners, which, as its name suggests, can be used to create video games. Pygame is free, open source since 2004 and licensed under the General Public License, which means that you are allowed to basically make any type of game. Pygame is built on top of the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL). SDL is a C framework that gives access to graphics, sound, keyboard, and other input devices on various operating systems including Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.
