Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
A game development kit for Python. Pygame provides modules for you to
access the video display, play sounds, track time, read the mouse and
joystick, control the CD player, render true type fonts and more. It does
this using mainly the cross-platform SDL library, which is similar in
purpose to DirectX under Windows.
The code is licensed under the GPL, but it does require Python 2, and
dynamically links to Python, so the GPL incompatibility issue comes into
play. The package therefore cannot be uploaded to the Debian archive until
either:
- A suitable exception clause to add to the GPL is deemed acceptable by
the Debian project, and is added to the license by the upstream
maintainer (Pete Shinners)
or:
- A new release of Python has a clarified license which is not
incompatible with the GPL, and this new version is uploaded to the
Debian archive. Guido knows about this, and it is rumoured that
Python 2.1 will satisfy the requirement.
You can download the source at the pygame website http://pygame.seul.org/.
I've already made an initial version of the package, which I have sent to
the upstream maintainer to place on his web site (should appear soon
enough).
When the license issue is resolved, and I've tidied up the package as much
as I can (don't want you guys biting my throat off _too_ much ;-), I'll get
sponsorship to upload it.

PyGame is now in the Debian archive, so this bug is closed.
Hurrah!
