Sounds like you might want to start playing around with a fairly
straightforward Python engine.  If you're interested in starting out
with something dirt simple, there's ZOE:

ZOE is so simple that it almost doesn't deserve special mention was a
Python OpenGL engine per se, but that can be helpful if what you just
want to do is explore.

If you're looking for something a little more fleshed out, then VPython
is probably up your alley.
