PyGame. It's also a framework designed specifically for creating games in Python.

Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python is a great online book on the subject.

i have that book. i was looking to further my skills. moving away from the shell/prompt.
@iKlsR then you should start reading the documentation for PyGame and Python, that way you can become a Python game-dev pro. What do you mean by moving away from the shell?
the default >> print('crap') and the command prompt, i want to start creating gui with graphics.
@iKlsR how far did you make it in the book? I know there are sections about graphics, but they're towards the end. You have to learn the basics of Python before you can get there.
i finished it. yes there are some really good examples in there but im thirsty for more. :)

I've made a game after sorta paging through tutorials and docs, though obviously pygame is only one (though a pretty popular) game library for python

  • This book is very highly rated (though I've not read it myself, others have pointed me there): http://www.amazon.com/Game-Programming-Python-Development/dp/1584502584

  • Finally, simply googling "python game framework" gets you pretty far, and lets you evaluate your options. Pygame is a great starting point, as a very generalist approach which handles input,drawing, and sound all in one library, but many frameworks exist for more specific tasks as well.
