    LÖVE is an awesome 2D game framework for Lua.

    Recently I have been using a lot the LÖVE framework, and I love it. I wanted to make the switch from Lua to Python, but unfortunately Pygame is nowhere as comfortable to use as LÖVE. I find that I often face friction when I try to do simple things. Do you have recommendations for Python alternatives to Pygame that are easy to use while still being versatile enough?
