Python in game development?

[Ronald Steedman]

 A full compile of a complex software package can often take 30 seconds or
 more. That can be frustrating when you're trying to find and remove bugs.
 You try one thing, wait 30 seconds, try another thing, wait 30 seconds...

 Imagine how an intepreter would help. Try one thing IMMEDIATELY SEE THE
 RESULT... try another thing IMMEDIATELY SEE THE RESULT... then you only
 compile the application when you're finished and want a faster program.

 I like how Visual Basic offers both compiled and interpreted programs. I
 would like to see Visual C++ follow suit. :)
