I have 3 game libraries installed on my PC: pyglet, pygame and Panda3D.
I would like to create a 2D game and make it a web browser game so i can put it on facebook.
I know that Panda3D has a web-browser-plugin. Panda3D is for 3D games mainly.
Therefore, I'm asking, is it possible to play a pyglet or pygame game in a browser? If not, what Python library do you recommend?

Ans:- Speed-wise, Pyglet is definitely faster than pygame and has better performance, and nowadays speed is always a concern when developing with a game.
Pygame does not require setup tools with even ctypes to install. Truly portable. Supports Linux (pygame comes with most main stream linux distributions), Windows (95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 64-bit Windows, etc), Windows CE, BeOS, MacOS, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX.
Kivy, Blit, Godot, Electron, and Unity are the most popular alternatives and competitors to pygame.
No, Pygame is not supported in PyScript at this time.
Neither pyglet nor pygame will run in a browser. I wouldn't really recommend using Python at all if you target is a web browser. JavaScript (with HTML5 Canvas), Flash, or Java applets are is better suited for that environment.
If you're dedicated to the idea of using Python, there are a number of projects that can compile Python into JavaScript. There are some mentioned on the Python wiki. Here are a few:
You'll need to write your own graphics and audio systems, though, since none of those projects can convert the native code needed by pyglet and pygame into JavaScript.

It requires a bit of reprogramming, but i made a pygame library "port" to the browser/nodewebkit using Brython and GameJS. You can program using a version of pygame and python 3 in the browser. You can check it out at https://github.com/asherwunk/pygjs
