linux console graphics

[eav]

I am currently working on a project needing a graphical interface, 
supposed to run quickly on quite modest PC (first pentium generation) 
with linux or a *bsd.

What can Python do form me ? I've been considering projects such as 
pygame - but it seems that SDL can't be run from the console. Am I wrong?

I've read about a GGI wrapper, but it doesn't seem to be maintained...

What do you think ? Do I rather use C and svgalib or GGI ?
