Maybe this is old news to many of you, but TIL about the Python Arcade game library (http://arcade.academy/index.html), which seems like an improvement over pygame.
From the comparison (http://arcade.academy/pygame_comparison.html), the improvements are mostly minor, with the exception of using OpenGL / Pyglet instead of SDL 1, so accelerated scaling/rotations are possible.
There was a pycon talk:

Has anyone used this library before? What's your experience? Speaking of python 2D game frameworks and libraries, there's also SGE game engine by our resident @onpon4, which is also an improvement over pygame but is still using SDL 1 and suffers from its limitations.
