Python game development

Question

A python lesson says:

Python can also be used for game development.
Usually, it is used as a scripting language for games written in other languages, but it can be used to make games by itself.

What does
"it is used as a scripting language for games written in other languages"
mean?

Please explain. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I think it means that it supports games that are written in other languages (such as C++), meaning that it could be combined with the game-language to perform certain operations. Python alone can also be used to create a game on it's own (using something called Pygame)
