Writing an engine in python is feasible, if you are willing to drop
down to c in cases where it may be necessary (after profiling he
problem spots of course).  As far as I know, there are a few engines
that have been tried before, but not many of them have gotten to a
very stable or usable state.  Before I settled on python-ogre, I was
looking for such an engine, but none of them provided all the features
I was looking for.  I have seen some good games written straight with
opengl, so if you don't go too crazy that can be done as well.  (A
more specific engine for one game is usually easier to handle and
optimize than a general purpose one).
