my question is: how to move a window (aka display/video window) that has been set to NOFRAME?

import os
import pygame


window = pygame.display.set_mode((480,480), NOFRAME)

i've found that you can specify a SDL variable with the initial location of the window if you do it before initializing pygame like so:

os.environ['SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS'] = "%d,%d" % (x, y)
pygame.init()

but how can you change x and y while the app is running, for example, by dragging the window around with the mouse?

i've found solutions for Tkinter, Qt, Pyside, wm, but not for a pygame application.

You can embed Pygame in Tkinter. – Malik Brahimi Feb 28 '15 at 22:03
@MalikBrahimi would i be able to call Tkinter functions when a pygame event occurs? for example, double the window's width when user clicks a sertain pygame.sprite? – mauricio bellón Feb 28 '15 at 22:19
I believe so, why not? – Malik Brahimi Feb 28 '15 at 22:23
