Not necessarily. kivy[1] is an alternative to pygame (for desktop builds, it uses pygame/sdl under the hood iirc) but it supports exporting to android as well as desktop platforms. I haven't done a ton with it so take this with a grain of salt, but it looks like it could be a viable option in this case.

I might just not have played with it enough at the beginning of 2014, but kivy had some serious weirdness when it came to the way in which it approached its layouts, which I feel was down to the way in which it tried to approach being multi platform. This was mostly looking at developing a basic desktop app which I could then shift over to mobile as well.
