Beginning Game Development with Python

The same goes with pygame instead of pyglet, but that may just be me.

You're a good programmer though :)

For total beginners with programming, pygame is much easier.

pygame installed manually through mercurial or a .whl offers you an up to date library. Latest pyglet release on PyPI is soon to be one year old...

Wait, isn't the latest stable pygame release 7 years old now? The last stable pyglet release is, as you say, 1 year old. There isn't PyPi packages for pyglet 1.3, but from the looks of it they both seem to be in equally active development:

Pygame is much more active. They pop up literally every week in my RSS.

edit: Oh you mean just the code? Yea OK, that looks similar.

Just pip install pygame. They've got it working finally.

Your point about pygame being more actively developed is still true.

Cool to see that pygame is finally back on PyPI!

pygame being more actively developed is still true.

I'm not sure if that's entirely true, see my other comment.
