pygame and wxpython

[DK]

I'm somewhat new to Python but not to programming.

I just want to know if it's possible to have a SINGLE wxPython frame
containing two sections where one will contain widgets and the other
will host an animation done using PyGame.

More specifically, I want to have a list of names of animations on the
left and depending on what is selected, run the PyGame animation in the
main area.

I have not seen this done but you should note that both wxPython and
Pygame run their own event loops - which can cause some serious
problems.

However, here's a link that may help you get started on trying to do
what you're looking for.

I am sure that some PyGamers have used pygame with wxpython. If you don't
get an answer here, I suggest asking on the pygame list, gatewayed to
gmane.comp.pyth on.pygame. (news.gmane.org )
