Try it the other way around, write your 3D code in C++, wrap it with Boost 
or SWIG and write the mainloop and your AI in Python. That's the way some 
people did it in their games after trying it the the other way around 
first. See the article at gamasutra 3 or 4 months ago (which was the reason 
I (re)discovered Python) for a good explanation.

And you shouldn't burn out your brain, then don't read any documentation or 
website people suggest you and just ask the questions here which sometimes 
even are in the FAQs, only because you are too lazy. (I guess there is some 
bad grammar in that sentence) And you should just try out the approaches 
others suggested to you and not ask them to chew it small enough for you to 
swallow.

I guess, after that paragraph, I'm welcome to your killfile.

Over and out
