Pure speculation - maybe they're trying to put the finishing touches on before the GDC, so they might contact you by then...

I'm sure you're going to like Pygame. I find using it very intuitive, although I must admit that I've had little experience with only a few other game programming frameworks, so I might have missed a framework that is "easier", such as Torque Game Builder.

As for me, hopefully I'll have the chance to tinker with Torque Game Builder soon. I'm currently using a Linux machine though, and it says in the product page that a community-supported Linux version is available. I hope that I'll be able to make that work.

Hopefully, there'll be more gamedev-related happenings here on DonationCoder :). Or even Python-related ones :).

After Asteroids of Orion, I'm sure you wouldn't need the videos :)
