Hi, Stas, and welcome!

According to John (J5): "As of build 379 both pygame and the SDL 
libraries are in the builds. "

However, unless he worked true miracles, it doesn't yet integrate well 
with Sugar and the event loop. So things work, and can be tested, but we 
still have some steps to make it an integrated platform.

But unless you're really burning with desire to see it run on the XO, 
I'd suggest that you keep developing in PyGame on your existing platform 
and wait a week or two for us to get it right.

Seems like everyone is excited by schoolsplay. Keep up the good work!
