Sid Meier's Civilization IV uses python (not pygame). I don't believe it 
is written entirely in python, it just uses it for certain things. I 
think there are other commerical games too that use a mixture of C and 
python, but that is the only one I can think of.

http://wiki.python.org/moin/GameProgramming has some interesting 
discussions of pros and cons of game programming in python.
