VERDICT
Creating games without boilerplate, built for education - pygame-zero.readthedocs.io
Depends. Use it if you're teaching Python or guiding a beginner's first games — it strips boilerplate exactly as promised. Skip it for shipping real or commercial games; there you want full Pygame or a proper engine.
Medium. Based on 14 public sources; no independent rated user reviews found, so user sentiment relies on forum and social threads.
