Amit Patel's web site on game programming is a treasure trove of
information on this sort of stuff:

    http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/gameprog.html

In fact, there's some information on doing grid/tile based stuff.  
Perhaps not coincidently, his web site has a section on Python:

The Pyplace project for pygame might be useful for you:

It looks like they have a framework for doing tiled maps that you might be
able to reuse.

Good luck!
