Most (ALL ?) commercial games that use Python only use it as a script
language.
Most of the real code ( display, 3D, Ia ) is made in C/C++ for
performance reasons. Python just use this code...

It really depends on what your game looks like, but I don't think it
is really possible now to write a full real commercial game in python
without extend / embed it with C/C++.
