Python : PySoy

PySoy is a high-level Python-based 3D engine for free software games. PySoy started as a fork of Soya 3D and has since been rewritten to overcome limitations in it's design.

PySoy is designed for rapid game development with an easy to learn, intuitive API while handling computationally expensive and timing critical functions in C for high framerates.
