Hi Nathan,

Yes; here's a link to an example that combines both Tkinter and Pygame.
(It appears to be a chapter out of Deitel & Deitel's "Python How to
Program" book.)

... oh, I forgot!  This question came up about three years ago.  Ah, found
it.  Here you go:

It's probably a good idea to talk with the pygame folks to integrate
pygame-controlled widgets with tkinter-controlled widgets.


Best of wishes!
