  1. There are also Python bindings for Ogre by Clay_Culver · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Just fyi, there are also Python bindings for Ogre. Here is the current thread in the forums that pretains to the Python version. The Python bindings for Ogre are getting more mature with every release. Pretty soon there will be a serious alternative to PyGame and PyOpenGL. Since Ogre is a 3D engine (as opposed to PyGame's 2D), and operates on a much higher level than PyOpenGL, creating 3D games in Python are now much easier to do. Especially considering Ogre is VERY fast, and the Python bindings push all of the 3D work onto C++.
