I am planning to write an simple 3d(isometric view) game in Java using jMonkeyEngine - nothing to fancy, I just want to learn something about OpenGL and writing efficient algorithms (random map generating ones).
When I was planning what to do, I started...

Python, how about creating a game using IronPython and XNA ? XNA is not OpenGL though, yet I find which is a similar system to pygame, but with full bindings to OpenGL.

What's the best toolkit for doing 2d game programming with Python? I've heard of pygame but is there anything I should add to it or is there another group of modules that surpasses it?

I've heard good things about pygame is the standard for game development in Python, I don't know of any others.
The performance isn't half bad either.
From OpenGL/C to OpenGL/Python.

However both work fairly well, so if you already know OpenGL ES, it's fine to use that.
OpenGL ES is really best for 3d stuff.
I would suggest using Quartz.

This site is also a great learning resource for OpenGL overall://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp?lesson=18
GLUT is a library which provides collections of opengl.
There is an example of a cylinder closer to the bottom .

It must come with source. I've looked at these which look semi-promising:
glgooey , guichan , and cegui . I've come across others that look more Windows-y than game-y, but that's not the direction I am looking to go in.
I would like some simple functionality...

I've used pyOpenGL, which works for wherever python works and wherever the pyOpenGL bindings have been ported to.
As the name suggests replacement.
If Python is an acceptable language, PyGame sounds like a good fit.

I find that I learn best by example. Is there a good website or codebase that shows how event handling, collision detection, modeling, and basic 3D drawing works?
The game I'm trying to begin with is a simple racing game where the user controls a small...

If you want opengl but with the simplicity of python - which could are pretty self-explaining.

As far as I am aware there is no inbuilt polygon functionality for Python. I want to create a 3D map and figured that polygons would be the best way to go about it.

Are you trying to render GUI widgets using some 2D engine, or are you looking for GUI library that also has 2D graphics support? Most GUI libraries have decent graphics support.
I am not fully sure what the requirement is.

Some friends and I are just starting a small 2D game project (sort of a Shoot 'em up type game) and, not wanting to reinvent the wheel, we are looking for a (free/open source) game engine. So far, the candidates are Allegro (C++) and Pygame (Python). ...
