Which Python user interface library can I use for 2D games? [closed]

Tags:

python

user-interface

I want to create a 2D game on Python with heavy user interface: windows, buttons, text input, etc. So far I've been using PyGame for a few simple games.

The game is a 2D MUD, with the standard rendering loop to draw stuff on the screen. I need the user interface to interact with the game entities like sales, blacksmith, etc.

I am looking for something like a mix of Pygame and wxPython/pyQT/pyGTK.

Which libraries can I use?

What graphics library does Pygame use?

Pygame uses the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) library, with the intention of allowing real-time computer game development without the low-level mechanics of the C programming language and its derivatives.

I would take PyQT with QGraphicsView or QGraphicsScene. Sadly there isn´t a Clanlib python binding like for perl and ruby. That would be, probably, the ideal choice.

You can use the popular Pyglet game library along with wxPython, the cross platform GUI library. An example of how to do this:

Additionally, if you want to use pure Pyglet, you can use Kytten, a pure Python GUI library built on the top of Pyglet.
