python-tcod
A high-performance Python port of libtcod. Includes the libtcodpy module for backwards compatibility with older projects. (by libtcod)
VileColossus
An Angband-descended roguelike game; vaguely reminiscent of early Diablo, with loot-shower mechanics and a gloomy dungeon atmosphere. (by laughingpanjandrum)

FYI - The "SDL failed to get a vertex buffer for this Direct3D 9 rendering batch!" warning has been fixed with tcod version 16.1.1

Sharing Saturday #471
I'm currently writing another Python tutorial. I was hoping to have part-1 finished before this Sharing Saturday but it started while I'm still in the middle of updating the website. You can see the part-1 source I'm going with here and the resources I plan on using are organized here.

Is really Python3 so slow with libtcod?
See this NumPy/SciPy cave generator for a performant example.
-
Python libraries?
scipy.signal.convolve2d again, but used to count neighbors instead of masking them based on their direction. See this script for a cave generation example.

RoguelikeDev Does The Complete Roguelike Tutorial Starting June 28th 2022
The python-tcod repository is here. This is the full source of the Python port including all the C sources of libtcod which are included as a sub-module plus all the setup scripts invoked. Most source repos are linked from their PyPI package page.

Considering changing from libtcod to pygame for tiles…
I'll be asking you to install tcod from the sdl branch of its Git repository. I'd recommended cloning the repo but that isn't required. You just need to tell pip install where the experimental source is.

What does this OpenGL error mean?
This is a known issue. Libtcod will fallback to the SDL2 renderer and will then run correctly, so this error only notes that the OpenGL renderers failed to initialize but won't prevent libtcod programs from running.
-
Can anyone assist me with an issue installing tcod in Arch Linux?
I found old bugs with similar issues (breaking on some sdl dependencies) on https://github.com/libtcod/python-tcod and filed an issue.

I made a game: VILE COLOSSUS. My first release after a lifetime of roguelike development! Give it a try, if you want.
probably feasible, since it just uses libtcod, though I don't have a linux machine to test it on. the code is here if you want to try building it
What are some alternatives?
When comparing python-tcod and VileColossus you can also consider the following projects:
libtcod - A collection of tools and algorithms for developing traditional roguelikes. Such as field-of-view, pathfinding, and a tile-based terminal emulator.
namemaker - Random name generator for Python using Markov chains.
entt - Gaming meets modern C++ - a fast and reliable entity component system (ECS) and much more
roguelike-tutorial - Following http://rogueliketutorials.com/ ...but with Scala and Indigo.
bracket-lib - The Roguelike Toolkit (RLTK), implemented for Rust.
procedural_generation_godot - Commits for basic procedural generation in Godot engine
