I would've thought Python would be painfully slow for any real games...
I mean, here's an earlier speed test I ran in Java, C, and Python using equivalent calculations for each language:
How could performance like that ever be used for 3d games like in C, C++, and Java?

Python is used for scripting unit reactions, where speed isn't that essential, rather than for game loops.
AFAIK there are no complete (commercial class) games written in it.

which is likely scripted so they can have a generic AI engine which the script adapts for the expected reactions of each AI controlled entity in the game.
