There is Allegro, a (very good and easy to use) game development library which 
has some python bindings (afaik it is not finished but usable):

http://pyallegro.sourceforge.net/

(the allegro website is here: http://alleg.sourceforge.net/ )

or SDL, another good one with the same purpose:

http://www.libsdl.org/
http://www.pygame.org/news.html

both are (imho) very good and easy to learn, but they are C libraries so some 
knowledge of this language might help you to understand them.
