So yea.. Python

I thought I'd have a crack at this language.. and it is really, really weird. Probably one of the nicest things I've noticed so far is you do substrings like arrays. Which makes perfect sense and seems much more efficient. I've heard that people use Python to write games but ummm.. how? Can it interface with Direct X or something?

Oh and.. can anyone recommend some decent tutorials? I've been going through the one on the official site but pretty boring. It seems more like a list of features than a tutorial.

I couldn't do texture-mapping, when I used wxPython. Well, my knowledge of OpenGL was a little sparse, when I wrote this demo:

What's the word on PyGame's upgrade for Python 2.5?
