Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro 3D support
Since pyglet is so tightly woven with OpenGL it allows the support of drawing in 3D.
Pro Cross-platform
Works with Windows, Linux, and OS X.
Pro Written in pure Python
A small advantage, but being a core Python developer, it may be the best to stick to the roots and develop with pyglet as it is able to compile using other Python interpreters.
Pro Cross-platform
Available on Windows, Linux, OSX, iOS and Android.
Pro Active and friendly community
Pro Reasonably good at creating puzzle and point-and-click games
Cons
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.
Con Not for every genre
While technically capable of creating 2D games in any genre, Ren'Py excels in creating visual novels and has a reasonable feature set for creating puzzle and point-and-click games. Other genres are best tackled by other engines.
Con Outdated Documentation and official built-in tutorials
Unfortunately, you will have to hunt relevant info on how Ren'py script works. The Ren'Py dev has the working tutorials on his Patreon, other than that you might as well just code in Python.
Con Requires knowledge of Python to use
