Other folks have replied re: VPython, but one more toy you might check
out is Alice, at http://www.alice.org/.  Alice is a tool that lets you
create interactive 3D graphics, and it uses Python as its scripting
language.  I've never got the chance to play w/ it, but I've heard
people rave about how much fun it is.  Might be worth a look.

Thanks,
