Except ExoticaX and Allegro are C libraries with Euphoria wrappers.
Euphoria and Python are identical in this regard, once someone has
written a wrapper no one else needs to write C code. Just plain
Euphoria and Python using the wrappers.
The main point to remember here is that Python isn't going to be
used to write a full featured state of the art 3D shooter.
For that matter Euphoria isn't either (not without wrappers to C
libraries.
Python is a wonderful language with probably the biggest potential
of any open source language. With all the wonderful features of
Python games making (although possible) isn't it's mean use.
