Even its from one or two external libraries like Tkinter and pygame? I prefer to load what I need, not to constantly have to call it by its library dot its_name. It makes easier coding for me. I try to keep my code as simply as possible. Wonder if its possible to use a Tkinter question to make a pygame run again (example being you get killed on a level and you want to play again without exiting)?
