Not specifically for Python but there are many books on
games programming in other languages. But it is an advanced
and spacialist topic in its own right. Indeed there are entire
undergraduate graduate degree level courses of 3 or 4 years
duration on the subject.

By all means have a go but be aware that writing a professional
quality game is as much of a technical challenge as writing say,
an operating system, or office application.

But a general search for games programming titles should
throw up some good resources: both books and web sites.
