Answer 2

Python and Game dev.

Frameworks and libraries:

- Ren'Py(2D)

- Panda3D

- Arcade

- Cocos2D

- Harfang3D

- PyOgre

PyGame:

Is a wrapper module for the SDL media library. Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library that provides low-level access to:
* audio;
* keyboard;
* mice;
* joystick;
* graphics hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D.

PyGame is portable and runs on almost all platforms and operating systems. Although PyGame is primarily a game engine, it will do just fine for playing mp3 files from Python scripts.

Where Python is used in game development:
- in-game modding,
- server controls,
- internal game logic,
- writing scripts to ensure the modularity of the game.

 Python is mainly used for writing scripts — such as character interactions, launching scenes, and event handling.
