Hi Haden, Actually, BGT doesn't use DirectPlay for networking because that particular API has been deprecated for years. I believe BGT uses an open source network library, I think it is ENet, which is just as good if not better than DirectPlay.
As far as Python there are a number of networking options, but PyGame comes with SDL-Net which is the network API component of SDL. It is fairly straight forward and easy to use although I don't know what kind of source examples are available for Python. My personal experience with SDL-Net is on the C/C++ side of things. Either way, creating networked games is pretty easy to do in Python. RS Games has written their client in Python for Mac OS and Linux, and its just one example of what can be done with the Python language in terms of card and board games. Cheers!
