A couple of years ago I started writing a simple tile-based game engine
(think overhead-view like Ultima V... actually, I was using the sprites from
Ultima V as textures :-) entirely in Python.
It was running at an acceptable speed even on lousy hardware (8MB ATI Rage
Mobility-P in my old Pentium II 233MHz laptop).
I know several commercial games, such as Freedom Force, use Python for
scripting, but I'm pretty sure the main engine is entirely C/C++.
