Integrate Pygame in PySimpleGUI

I have a game written with a Pygame loop and it currently draws everything happening in the pygame window. I now want to integrate this window into a larger PySimpleGUI window to have nice functionality around the game. Is this possible?
I tried to use the code from here. The problem is that I get an error like this which comes from VIDEODRIVER at line 25:
pygame.error: windib not available
I changed this to 'windows' but then the Pygame window is separated from the PySimpleGUI as a different window.
Can I make the pygame loop as a window INSIDE the PySimpleGUI? Thank you.

It looks like the detached window is an open, unresolved issue with pygame 2.
If you're able to downgrade to pygame 1.9.6, the linked demo works as expected on Windows after changing the line 25 to:
os.environ['SDL_VIDEODRIVER'] = 'windows' as described.

As said there,
This line only work on windows:
os.environ['SDL_VIDEODRIVER'] = 'windib'
So make a code to skip it when the os is not Windows.
import platform
if platform.system == "Windows":
os.environ['SDL_VIDEODRIVER'] = 'windib'

Re-open turtle after turtle.bye()

I have some code as follows:
# My code here
turtle.bye()
After that, is there any way I can reopen the turtle window.
I know you can do turtle.clearscreen() but that does not close the turtle window.
I will accept any answer which allows me to close the turtle graphics window and then reopen it without opening and running another python program to do this.
Thank you in advance

I've seen situations where the approach of #LukeTimmons worked but not always reliably and not in every situation. Give this solution a try:
import time
import turtle
turtle.dot(200, 'green')
time.sleep(2)
turtle.bye()
# These two lines (indirectly) resurrect turtle environment after turtle.bye()
turtle.Turtle._screen = None # force recreation of singleton Screen object
turtle.TurtleScreen._RUNNING = True # only set upon TurtleScreen() definition
turtle.dot(200, 'red')
turtle.mainloop()
It resets two flags that keep turtle from starting up again. It may be safer to create your own turtle after restart rather than use the default turtle which may point back to the departed environment.

There may be other ways but this is the only way I know.
from turtle import *
def turtle1():
#Your code here
turtle1()
turtle.bye()
turtle1()
This should re-run your code without re-typing it.

turtle.done() not working in Spyder

This simple Python script:
import turtle
bob = turtle.Turtle()
bob.forward(50)
turtle.done()
yields an error when running it using Spyder. The first run works as expected, but after that, the IPython console raises a "Terminator". The same happens when using turtle.exitonclick() instead of turtle.done(). What am I doing wrong?
Note that running it from the CLI works fine.

I don't use Spyder but have exchanged comments with others who have similar problems running turtle in similar environments.
If you close the turtle graphics window, it's dead and won't reopen for you. Short of restarting Spyder, you can try adding a turtle.bye() (which cleans up some things) after turtle.done() (which returns after the main loop exits). Then try running your program multiple times.

I was having trouble running a turtle graphics program more than once in Spyder, and I solved it by going to "Tools / Preferences". In the "Run" section, under "Console", select "Execute in a new dedicated Python console".

This is because the turtle module (most reference implementations as of today) uses a class variable called _RUNNING. Class variables remain false between executions when running in environments like Spyder instead of running as a self-contained Python script. There are two work around for this:
1)
import importlib
import turtle
importlib.reload(turtle)
bob = turtle.Turtle()
bob.forward(50)
turtle.done()
import turtle
turtle.TurtleScreen._RUNNING=True
bob = turtle.Turtle()
bob.forward(50)
turtle.done()

My turtle program in python acts like it has been clicked

import turtle
window = turtle.Screen()
pen = turtle.Turtle()
def star():
pen.forward(100);
turtle.onscreenclick(star())
window.mainloop()
I am very new to turtle,and python itself, I am just using some of the documentation that I found on the python website, but when I run this program it runs my function star without the screen even being clicked. The end goal of this program would be for me to click then it would run the function, then if I clicked again the screen would clear and the function would be run again.
Thanks for the help!

You need to pass reference to start function into onscreenclick, and make start to accept two arguments:
def star(x,y):
pen.forward(100);
turtle.onscreenclick(star)

python turtle graphics window won't open

I have little piece of code from a tutorial which should work fine but I don't get the turtle graphics window to show (I'm on Windows 10 using python 2.7.10). The code looks like this
import turtle
def draw_square():
window = turtle.Screen()
window.bgcolor("red")
brad = turtle.Turtle()
brad.forward(100)
window.exitonclick()
However, when I execute it nothing happens, I don't even get an error message. Instead, the shell just says
================================ RESTART ================================
and displays the little Windows circle (indicating it is working on something) but the turtle graphics window does not pop up.
I have tried repairing my python installation and additionally installing the x86 version, but I get the same outcome on the other installation, too.
Does anyone please know how to fix this?
Thank you,
Tomislav

Functions don't do anything unless you call them. Try:
import turtle
def draw_square():
window = turtle.Screen()
window.bgcolor("red")
brad = turtle.Turtle()
brad.forward(100)
window.exitonclick()
draw_square()
