With some fumbling I got some of the PyOGRE demos working, including the 
robots, terrain, skydome, and smoke programs. Others like the BSP demo 
summon the Blue Screen of Death, but they did with regular OGRE too, and 
these are features I never expect to use. I was able to change 
superficial things like the # of robots or the color of lighting, 
easily. I don't know how to use py2exe to build PyOGRE-based EXEs the 
same way as with regular Python EXEs, though; py2exe builds an 
executable, but running it gives an error message about missing libraries.

I'm looking for a free 3D graphics system of some kind for Python; 
something that will let me display cube-shaped textured tiles and view 
them from any camera angle, and preferably with bells/whistles like 
light sources. PyOGRE can probably do that, but I don't know how. As a 
result I've been building my code to be engine-independant; it can even 
display the game world in ASCII.
