I've been learning Python for fun and wondered what game engine exist for it. I am aware of Pygame, but are there any others? I'd be particularly interested in any with a tool path to Flash?

Update: I made this a community wiki because there is no right answer. Feel free to add resource and a small description.

pyglet - an object-oriented programming interface for developing games and other visually-rich applications for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux

I've seen people talk about pyglet although I've never used it myself. It's a more general multimedia framework though, not game specific.

 Pyglet is great; it's very fast and it's cross-platform. For 2D games, there is a library called Cocos which runs on top of pyglet - code.google.com/p/los-cocos - and provides a bit more game-oriented structure if you need it. – racter Mar 22 at 17:58
Is the same Cocos that works on the iPhone? – MrPhil♦ Mar 23 at 13:52

 Yeah the iPhone version of Cocos is a port of the original pyglet/python version. – racter Mar 26 at 19:47
That's pretty interesting! Thanks. – MrPhil♦ Mar 29 at 18:42

If you are interested in 3d, Panda 3d is worth looking at. http://www.panda3d.org/ I found it very easy to get going with.

It may not be game specific but there's a post about targeting flash from Python on StackOverflow.
