gaming and python

Well, I'd have a hard time believing that you could program something
like quake, but you could probably do a decent job with tetris or the
like.  Check out PySDL http://pysdl.sourceforge.net/, I haven't used
it, but it's probably exactly what you need, SDL is apparently a cross
platform library for game programming.  Also, check out PySol
http://wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at/mfx/pysol.html, an excellent and very
well done game of solitare + 156 (or so).
