Embedding a Pygame window into a Tkinter or WxPython frame

Purpose of __repr__ method?

repr(object): Return a string containing a printable representation of an object. This is the same value yielded by conversions (reverse quotes).

One of its gotchas is that it monkey-patches the distutils Python package. It should work well with pip. It sees regular releases.
