It is great to see that an new final release is on the way. Can this then please also be released on PyPi? Not having Pygame in PyPi at the moment is a big problem for every other package that relies on Pygame. I see that Windows wheels are already available on testpypi, so I really hope that soon PyPi proper also has wheels for Pygame. Any comment on this would also be appreciated.
