I agree strongly on this. As I've posted on another issue (
https://code.google.com/p/pyglet/issues/detail?id=713 ), I feel like this
project is going nowhere, even though it had and still has a lot of potential.
I started with Python in March 2012, specifically because I wanted to write
games. Nowadays I earn my living with Python + Django, but still look out for
good game libraries.
I remember choosing between Pygame and Pyglet, and settled on Pygame back then
because it seemed more mature, although I thought Pyglet to be cleaner, more
pythonic and having more potential. However, in those past two years, there
have been exactly 0 releases. In my opinion, by observing this project for some
time (with some big gaps), some drastic measures need to be taken, including
moving to Github, drastically increasing the release rate, and advertising it
more as one of the few good libraries out there to write games with in Python
(unfortunately there are too few of these, that's why I'm still keeping an eye
on Pyglet).

gwildorsok: are you volunteering? There are over 147 issues in the bug tracker
(it's not accurate because some of them seem to be corrupt), and some of them
could use some help.
That's one side of the history; although it's true that pyglet 1.2 is getting
better and almost ready for a beta release, there are some parts that are just
not finished. A good start point could be grepping for "TODO" in pyglet's
source. There are also a couple of tickets related to documentation that need
to be addressed before a release (eg, migrating from 1.1 to 1.2).
We tried to make 1.2 easier to use (you can install the latest repo code with
pip, see: http://pyglet.org/download.html), but it needs work to be "stable".
Please don't take offence because I close this ticket as invalid. This kind of
conversation should happen on the mailing list.
