pygame is simpler to learn, since it doesn't require you to know how

I'm not sure if I'd be quick to tout that as an advantage... :)
Hi,
It's easier to teach only requiring *using* classes, and functions
than *creating* them. This is important if it's being used to teach
programming - as you don't need to teach people two fairly large
concepts before you can do anything.
Every program defines a function that maps input from the external world
(possible null, but not for a game) to output to the external world
(presumable not null, certainly not for a game). So defining internal
function objects is not that big a step.
I agree that creating new classes is a big step, and that using
callbacks can be a mind-twister.
