python for game programming

[Adam Pletcher]

In addition to EVE Online, Disney's Toontown Online is another example, along with Psi-Ops and Civ 4.  Irrational, DICE, Totally Games and Troika all reportedly use Python in some capacity, either for gameplay scripting or as a development tool.
 
At GDC 2008, a couple weeks from now, there are two sessions on Python.  I'm presenting the first one below, which focuses on Python as a game development tool for TAs:
 
Python for Technical Artists

The other one, from the runtime front:
 
Snakes on a Seamless Living World!: Stackless Python as a Scripting Language

This goes back to 2002, but here's a good article from Bruce Dawson on the use of Python for gameplay scripting.
