I would like to learn Blender (For my graphics), and Python (To make the game). So My question is, does anyone know of any good information as how to work with these? I am still a beginner, and I don't know much about this, and I can't find any books about this either. I would like a tutorial that walks a user through a basic game, with step by step instructions for creating the object in blender, then using Python to import the object to be used in the game and be controlled in the game. Thanks!

Are you saying that you can't find a book on Python or are you saying you can't find a book that goes into how to use Python and blender? Either way if you are a beginner I highly recomend reading and working through a good book or two on programming in Python before you do anything. After this you should try learning to use a 2D(that is what it is mostly used for anyway) library called PyGame. It is a library that contains all sorts of usefull Modules that can help you make a game. Then when you have a few simple games under your belt you could try and move on into 3D. I have heard that Panda3D an engine that the Disney corporation made, is a good engine to use Python with.

Good places to find Python books or tutorials.
-Amazon.com Python books: Too many to count.
-A byte of python (a book that can be bought on Amazon or downloaded for free from python.org.)
-Python.org
-google

Pygame books and tutorials
-Amazon.com (only 2 books that I know of use pygame. Game programming with python and pygame. and The L Line book on game programming
-pygame.org has a few tutorials

Panda3D
-panda3d.org I believe has a good deal of tutorials on using Panda3D

I hope this has helped you in some way. Good luck :)

Is there anything that combines both into one?
