Pro Great documentation and tutorials
With a wealth of tutorials, examples and instruction on the API there should be little to no extra support needed to get started.
Pro Rich platform support
Support of Linux, Windows, BSDs, and Mac OS X makes pygame a great option for any user. Installation can be done via package manager on Linux and by binary installers for OS X and Windows.
Con Does not scale well to large games
Pygame does well with small games and hobby projects, but to use it and scale it out for a large project will result in a lot of performance issues.
Pro Cross-platform
Works with Windows, Linux, and OS X.
Pro 3D support
Since pyglet is so tightly woven with OpenGL it allows the support of drawing in 3D.
Con Small community/popularity
There is a decent amount of documentation and API to go along with pyglet, but in terms of community support there seems to be very little.
Pro Supports rich set of platforms
Support includes Linux, BSDs, Microsoft Windows, and OS X. With all these supported platforms the PyCairo library will be able to complete the job.
Pro Good tutorials and documentation
With a plethora of documentation on the core Cairo library and the bindings for Python, users will be able to turn to the documentation, API, or translate examples from other languages to work with PyCairo.
Con No 3D support
Due to PyCairo being built off the 2D graphics library cairo, there is no 3D support for any graphics.
