I'm looking to build a game similar to Operation Space Hog(for those of you who haven't played it, a) check it out, its free, b) it's a 2d scroller space game where you have a ship and you get upgrades and stuff), with the intention of ultimately making it online-coop, I'd like to build it in python(by far my strongest language), any recommendations for what library to use, my understanding is that it would be either PyGame or PySoy, any other advice would be great.

PySoy doesn't make much sense for 2D games and as far as I can tell its developers don't recommend it be used in real projects yet anyway.

Look into Pyglet for graphics/audio/input and Twisted for the networking layer. My experience with both libraries is very limited but they stood out ahead of the rest when I was evaluating these things a while back.

Very cool, thanks, the networking stuff I'm going to look at later, first I want to put together the game, pyglet doesn't appear to have linux support, or can I just download the source and put it on my python path.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to where to find decent sprite images?
