SummerOfCode/PygameGui
A Pygame GUI Toolkit.
On second thoughts, this sort of project probably isn't needed, for many different reasons. - SimonWittber
Build a minimal object oriented GUI toolkit, aimed at use with touchscreens, which uses pygame for display. It should use something like a command dispatch pattern, and make sure to take advantage of the late binding abilities of python.
The minimum widgets needed are:
Labels
Tool Tips
Text Entry (with possible optional virtual keyboard)
Buttons
Heirarchial Pie Menu System
Spacer
Dialogs with Customisable buttons
It should also provide customisable layout managers for widget layout. Grid, Horizontal and Vertical Row etc.
Some reasons why this proposal isn't needed:
PGU is good enough for most people who want a Pygame GUI.
Most games / multimedia applications use custom GUI code.
IMO, the only part of a GUI toolkit which can be successfully genericised for these sorts of applications is the event loop and dispatch mechanism.
