Hi Josh, Personally I haven't tried it but Python is flexible enough to write an extension for DirectX. I know that extensions have been written to interface with the stock MS SAPI 5 libs, and I am certain a competent python dev could whip up a DirectX extension. Probably one has already been written for it, and I am just unaware of it. I do know there are extensions for open source implementations of DirectX such as Open GL, Open AL, SDL, etc... Honestly, game programming centers around Visual Basic, C#, and C++. Other languages can write games, but it's just not the same as the mainstream. Typically, when python is used for games it is used on non-Windows platforms where open source languages and technologies are used widely. It's kind of like the Microsoft way or the open source way. Take your pick. I'm not bashing python at all. I do think it is a nice little language. Just not commonly used for pro Windows games.
