I am the lead developer behind PMMA and Pycraft and here to improve application development in Python, with a bit of art and fun thrown in!
Thanks! This is something we are working on improving currently with work on the documentation and surrounding support for people using PMMA!
Its work in progress currently, but we are making good progress. :)

... Great success so far in our API, and intend to continue to work on as we extend the API with new features - either expanding existing ones, or introducing new systems like 3D shapes which are coming in the very near future!

So, finally PMMA will be getting support for multiple windows, and having tested it, it's fantastic!

Of course, now with BGFX we no longer have anything limiting us to using a single window.
This is excellent because finally we can support making multiple windows through PMMA!
But it poses another problem.
