The port is already usable, but a couple of critical features are still missing such as font rendering and extended image support(.bmp images only). The latest addition is OGG\Vorbis audio support. Feedback is welcome :)
PS: When I decided that nick, I didn't have any plans to create a pygame port at the time so it's a pure coincidence :)

At least keyboard input handling and small and different screen resolutions of the phones must be taken into account. I have tested a couple of the samples provided with the pygame and those were the main issues. And PyS60 is based on python 2.2, but that should change very soon. This would be a good topic for a wiki article.
Currently I'm working on getting the remaining basic modules running( font and ext. image ). Music streaming has some issues too.

Actually most of the work is done for SDL, not pygame. Adding some new feature has been a matter of adding a new extension(SDL_Mixer,SDL_ttf) for S60 SDL and enabling it in pygame. Only a few times there have been any need to modify pygame itself. Porting pygame has been refreshingly easy so far :)
