We can always move when the amount of traffic increases. Do you plan on providing some cookbook for code samples and examples ? I suspect we run into problems that would have some common solutions and it would be nice to post them somewhere. That's a good idea - when I get a chance, I'll set up a wiki or something. The python module Configparser isn't included, is it possible to include it ? I haven't figured out which parts of the standard library should be included. For pure-python modules, even if the module isn't included, it can be used by including it with the app, so that might be the better approach for rarely-used modules. (Now the question is - is configparser rarely used?) Is there support for the android sqlite dbase ? No. I don't believe that's accessible from the NDK.

Do you have any networking support in it? If you mean the packaging tool, no, I haven't included that. Google recently updated the maximum package size to 50 MB, which should be large enough for most reasonably-sized games. What I'll probably do sometime in the future is to add the networking permission to pygame, so that a larger game could run a downloader to grab its own data files.

(Now the question is - is configparser rarely used?) Configparser is not mission critical and as you say it can always be included in the app itself. Perhaps we better wait and see which missing parts are frequently used. I for one have written a simple Logfile replacement so that I didn't have to rewrite my programs for the android version. I suspect that most python programs use the Logfile module so it might be a candidate for inclusion ? Not that it's hard to live without but it would be nice to port existing stuff to android without rewriting to much code.
