Again, it depends on exactly what you mean by "only python". If allow yourself to have a high-performance graphics/game engine written in some other language (like C/C++), then the answer is a resounding "yes". In fact, Humongous Entertainment writes all of their games in Python (using a proprietary engine underneath, which I assume is in C/C++).

Humongous does all those "Backyard" games ("Backyard Baseball", "Backyard Hockey", "Backyard Football" etc.). They're successful, professional, 2D games written in Python. If you want to read an article about them, try http://www.cygnus-software.com/papers/gamescriptinginpython.html

Also, there's a 3D engine written to be used with only Python that looks promising. Check it out at http://oomadness.tuxfamily.org/en/index.html

As you can see, I'm a big Python fan. If anyone else knows some good Python game success stories or resources, post 'em!
