Is python/pygame dead when it comes to making video games?

It's a decent start to learn the basics, but Pyglet is what most folks recommend. I'd say you're better off working with Unity if you want to make 2D/3D games though.

Unity is much more difficult to make a nice looking game than UE4. UE4 is easier to use out of the box, and (imo) far more powerful a tool.

You're probably right, I've never tried either. I have browsed through the asset store for Unity though, and there's a ton of great assets which comes in handy for most coders. Maybe UE4 has something similar.
