Java's AWT and Python's PyGame

Pros and Cons

AWT is a bag of deprecated shit and written in Java
PyGame is slow as shit and written in Python.

(cons x y) = (x . y)
(pros (x . y)) = x y

(define (pros c)
 (values (car c) (cdr c)))

Finally, a thread that I have interest in.
I have had plenty of good experiences programming with AWT, however I do find myself reinventing the wheel every once in a while. How is PyGame? I've never tried it myself.

Too low level in my opinion.  Some sucky internal libraries like "draw" are next to unusable.

Pros are it's extremely easy to get a basic game going.  Also being able to click an icon and test without compiling is nice, but that's just python.

I've also noticed it doesn't scale well as you can clearly see the slowness when you get to large projects.

It's awesome for small games.  That's it.  How about AWT?  Any good?

avoid AWT when you can and use SWING.

Don't change these.
