3D in Python

[Salohcin]

I'm wondering if it's possible to program three-dimensional games using Python. I've seen quite a few 2D arcade style games using PyGame. From what I've heard, Pythonwouldn't be powerful enough to make anything very advanced, but I'd like to hear peoples opinions ^^

Thanks,

PyGame will let you build 3D games.

And in all honesty, Python's not probably the limiting power when you're starting out. :) If/when it is, you can always optimise it through the C API as well.

Cool, I'd like to explore the language more. From what I've already learned I really like it.

Check out Panda3D..

I never knew Python could do this. I am not sure how powerful it'll be though and/or how good of game can be made.

Python is very versatile. You should be able to make any sort of game. The power should be sufficient for a beginner but if you get more advanced it can be improved by re-writing core modules natively as DLL and using them.

edit: like eddie has already said!

Oh, well you explained it a lil more clear then he did.

iirc (If i can recall correctly), Python was used to make much of civilization iv with the AI code done in C++. Here's a reference: http://games.slashdot.org/games/05/10/27/059220.shtml?tid=206&tid=11 .
