What are the differences between the various Python game frameworks? Would it help to see a couple game examples across several libraries to understand the distinctions? This week on the show, Christopher Trudeau is here, bringing another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

We discuss a Real Python article by previous guest Jon Fincher titled "Top Python Game Engines". Jon compares 5 different game frameworks and provides thoroughly commented example projects for each.
We talk about a blog post by recent guest Adam Johnson about determining if a project is well-maintained. He suggests 12 questions to decide whether to add a new dependency to your project.
We cover several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, Python decorator patterns, finding the smallest and largest values with min and max, a discussion about the most used Python packages, the pony object-relational mapper, and a project to read PEPs in your console.
