A /. thread on simple 3d game engines gave:
- VPython, "3d programming for ordinary mortals",
a packaging of Python
with a few libraries to do simple 3d.
- Cube is an open source game engine with
an emphasis on in-game world generation.
- PyOgre is bindings to the
Ogre 3d libraries.
- Panda is a Python
3d library with an emphasis on
short learning curve.
- Quesa is an open source implementation of
Apple's QuickDrawtm 3d.
Slightly less interesting, perhaps because I haven't taken the time to look at 'em yet or perhaps because they look like yet another abstraction layer or scene tree or whatever:
- G3d looks like a graphics and sockets
layer abstraction.
- irrlicht is a free open source 3d application.
- Delta3d is allegedly a U.S. military backed game
engine, looks like the usual layering of stuff atop OpenSceneGraph, ODE and Cal3d.

[edit history]
I'd include
Soya3D on this list as another python library.. I've only looked at it briefly but I think it was a good bit easier to use than, say, PyOgre.
