Very possibly. Thanks for the link, I will investigate.

For instance, configurable startup / initialization parameters, function(s)

Pygame is, after all, the Python wrapper around SDL—the Simple DirectMedia
Layer. In a text-based game, you don't really have media, so it's not

(or needed) at all.
The old code base for such games wasn't always very well organized or
designed, they just (mostly) worked. I had a thought that
