Simulating physical behaviour is both interesting and exciting for games, education and playful learning. There are a few open source 2D physics engines out there, and it seems chipmunk (building on top of box2d) is one of the most advanced. It also has python bindings (pymunk), and work is in progress on an API (pymunx) for easy usage in pygame, with a focus on olpc and the xo laptop :)
