I have a fairly high opinion of Tk.  Not "instead of" Pygame though.
More "let's compare these tools, see what they do".

Some Tk game-related scripts attach here (not by me, I may be
no help with code problems):

wxPython also has a following, thanks especially to Kevin Altis
of PythonCard fame.  He's done a good Life, turtle stuff...
