Depends on the platform the game is on, to be quite honest. It can do almost everything most languages are able to do. A lot of the games you see on console for example are written in c++ because it has better performance than python. c++ is more bare bones than python. That's the attraction of python though, it's massive built in functions, libraries, and memory management. On top of all that, it's extremely user friendly. But again, this depends on what platform and perhaps the game itself. But yeah, you can make a pretty awesome game from python! And before you ask, yes it can be 3d. lol Have a look at https://www.pygame.org/

@Bearst All in Python. I used the pyglet module to use OpenGL there. It's fast enough for my use.

Never waste an opp to show off ;) https://www.instagram.com/p/BQ-8ubDDTNi/ But yeah, no, Python is not really the best option for serious game development business. There are many other, better suited tools for this purpose.

Yes, the above was done in Python. But that's just for fun. If you want to make professional games, you should learn a game engine like Unreal (C++), Unity (C#/JS) or alike.

if you are planning to make a game , my suggestion is learn c++ as python is not very suitable for it... though it is still possible to make a game with python
