I guess it depends how closely tied we want to be with Pygame. I'm not
a Pygame developer so I don't know what the proper protocol for this
would be.

I think it's a good start. It's better than Pygame Launcher. Maybe
PyArcade, but that might be taking the Py- convention too far. I have a
question though. Will this be open to any games written in Python or
only those that use Pygame?

Tkinter is my first choice as well. We should reuse code when we can.
(And if it's a good idea of course)

There's never a good reason to not make a good program :)
Why don't we start with a sheet of ideas/goals that we want to
accomplish for the app? Maybe present it on this mailing list so we can
get input from everyone else. Here's one goal of mine:
* Track data made by games, such as save files, so that it may be
removed (like when the game is uninstalled).
