Why Is My Basic Pygame Module So Slow?

I've planning on writing a code in Pygame and I was just getting started with the basics and found that the executing code was really slow. When I press a key it takes a while for

Solution 1:

pyGame is based on SDL which is internally based on threads.

When you have threading, print messages are basically a no-no. Because often times because of the scheduler slices (which are large in SDL), the print messages get delayed. Its not that pygame is slow (it is some situations, but, not in this one), its just that the print statement is in a seperate event thread.

Try doing this in pygame, it'll run pretty well.
