This was already discussed here a while back; without MPEG support (from
smpeg), pygame is more or less crippled.  There's a "full featured" one
already available from rpm.livna.org (as python-pygame).  Whether it
makes sense to ship a less featured one in Extras, dunno about this
specific case.  In general I don't think so.  If you disagree, this
package could use some work:

- Missing BuildRequires: python-devel

- Unnecessary explicit Requires: SDL_*

- Missing dependencies in -devel: SDL-devel, SDL_ttf-devel,
SDL_mixer-devel, python-devel

(For the following three, see eg. the rpm.livna.org specfile)

- Could use config.py for configuring instead of shipping a hardcoded
"Setup" (with h/c'd "/usr/lib" and "python2.4" paths etc)

- Could perhaps run the test suite in %check

- Could ship the docs in a separate "-doc" subpackage, and add examples
to it
