[Stackless] Python in Games

[Dave LeCompte (really)]

We're getting a bit afield from Stackless, but:

> Python has been used in a lot of games. I unfortunately don't have a list
> available but of the top of my head I remember Battlefield 2 and
> Dark&Light there are a lot more and I am constantly hearing about more.
> Python lends well to game developers as it's easy to move code back and
> forth between C and Python. There really should be a list somewhere, would
> sell Python even more (as there are a lot of games).

Bruce Dawson presented a talk at the 2002 Game Developers' Conference
titled "Game Scripting in Python". There's a version of that presentation
