If you want it to be 3d, you have a couple'o choices...
Pygame with the PyopenGL interface,
Panda3d,
Soya,
PyOgre,
and perhaps others.
The only one I've used was Panda3d, and I didn't get very far, so I 
can't comment on that.  I can say, though,
I've played Disney's Toontown game, which is a 3d mmorpg made with 
Panda3d, so yes, it's possible to make 3d networked games in Python :)

 >Also, my idea is to have a centralised Python server which acts as a 
dispachter to send the coordinate and other information to the gaming 
clients.

For your networking, you'll probably want to use Twisted.
