I have recently started to use blender to create games (although I'm not that good at it) and my friend said I should start to use python with it. I have no idea what to do what so ever.
Could anyone send me a link to a good tutorial please?

Thanks

Python is a general-purpose interpreted programming language. In the spectrum of Programming Languages, it's one of the easiest to learn while maintaining it's usefulness long after becoming good at programming. If you're going to look into programming games using Blender/Python, I highly suggest you look into the Panda 3D Engine. Panda represents it's 3D models and animation data in .egg format, so you'll also want to get the Checken .egg Exporter for Blender, and then you should have a more-or-less set up toolset for developing a 3D game with Python and Blender. You'll obviously need to work on it by doing modeling and coding, as well as gathering other resources on the web for tools that I can't foresee at this moment, but it's a start.

I also suggest that you learn animation very well! 3D modeling and animation can be quite tough, I've just been working on a simple 10 or 15 second short with Blender and since I'm still relatively new at using Blender as well it's taking me time to model out the characters and animate them correctly. You'll need to use animation extensively with a game, obviously. :)
