Pysol III at least in part is about empowerment.
Only you have the right to determine the rules that you play by.

If you think:

that not counting unfinished games as lost is ok
that peeking at face down cards is ok
that disabling autodrop is not ok
that keeping score is ok
These are all options that you can accept or decline for your own enjoyment.
The purests may choose to look down on you, but hey, that's their problem.
After all, they can play it their way too if that's what they want.
As the yippies used to say, knock yourself out, whatever turns your crank.
Well, once a yippy always a yippy and some of us still say such things.

Still, there are rules and whatever game(s) you choose to play will have
their own. Except as shown above. they can't be violated without changing
the underlying Python code. But that's easy too, just play a different game.
Pysol III currently has 2428 games to choose from.
Even a purest should be satisfied with that. Well...
