Can anyone tell me if pygame and Tkinter can work together?

[Nathan Pinno]

Thanks. I was going to use TKInter to pop up a message box, then use pygame
to run the game and display the score on the playing surface. Is this still
possible (I'm using Python 2.4.1 and Pygame 1.7.0 on WinXP with Service Pack
2)?

It's likely to be a challenge; each one has its own "event loop", and the
exact pitfalls of trying to use both at the same time probably depend on the
operating system too.  For instance, on X, Tk and SDL probably both expect
full control of the handlers registered with XSetErrorHandler and
XSetIOErrorHandler, but Xlib only permits a single handler.
