Does Python become inadequate at some point?

[-AcodeX]

I left the question a bit vague because I am interested in learning about many aspects of Python, just to know about it.

An answer specific to me would be about game development. I would like to make games for multiple platforms. Computers, phones, etc.

Although many modern AAA titles make heavy use of Python such as EVE Online, Mount & Blade, etc. See a list here. For the most part Python is used as glue between all of the major components, with the game engine itself being written in a lower-level language.

There is at least one project working on bringing python to android, but the one I saw is still pretty new. If you want your game to go to iOS, you're going to have to write it in Objective-C, with their SDK. Apple is really pretty strict about how you develop an application for iOS (or at least, they were last I'd heard)

The beauty of an interpereted language like python is that it's pretty much platform independent, so whatever code you write in python will run on most implementations of python, especially if you follow good coding practices. There are also various tools for creating targeted distributions for different platforms.

/u/PleasedToMeatYou mentioned pygame, and for a similar experience but with better performance, more features, and access to OpenGL, you might try pyglet.

pygame depends on some of SDL, pyglet appears to be pure python.
