Another thing that does not seem to be supported out of the box is graphics. Sure you can pipe some characters to the console output. But there are no bitmapped graphics that I can see. Luckily there are popular add on packages that supplement this shortcoming.
I have read about PyGame which will give me graphics and sounds. And there are other choices too I presume. My last big project is going to be implementing the game of battleship. Unfortunately I did not play this game as a kid. I expect that is it something akin to Minesweeper. Let's see how hard that will be using Python.
