in previous python verions a pygame window could be embedded into wxpython by assigning the SDL_WINDOWID to the current wx.Panel.GetHandle() and the SDL_VIDEODRIVER to 'windib' before importing python
the same code creates a separate pygame window in the newest python version
a basic implementation can be found here:
https://github.com/Monchytales/Puppet-Theatre/blob/main/pygame_panel.py

Pygame and wxpython are not parts of the stdlib. Please use an appropriate bug tracker.

The only thing I changed was the version of python I was using, which means
that whatever caused the problem was python itself
if something was changed in how the interpreter operates the environmental
variables or something then that might do it
PYTHON broke MY software, so this and this alone is the appropriate bug
tracker
