A year(or two) ago I found sdl-gfx when I was trying to find ways to get anti-aliased circles( I worked on GASP, a beginners game creating api). My understanding then was sdl-gfx was licensed GPL so pygame could not use it. I just checked and now it is LGPL. Yay :)
http://www.ferzkopp.net/joomla/content/view/19/14/ I talked with Andreas back than and it seemed like he was willing to help the pygame community with integration and possible future work. His email is on the site mentioned above. I would love to see pygame take advantage of some of his work. Good luck, It looks like the ball is already started on this one so lets keep moving forward Cheers!
