It does not use Python for GUI, only for scripting.

GTK is a widget library, it is not purposed for a game engine, like Unreal.

This one is in GtkAda:

GTK supports SVG, you can render some 3D stuff, but it is not for that.

I would not classify computer games as GUI. And I would not start doing 
this from scratch in a GTK's drawable area! I did some 3D scene 
simulation in OpenGL about a quarter of century ago. That was no fun. 
Today you will need more than a human life span in order to catch up 
with modern 3D engines. Go for a ready to use stuff. Write Ada bindings 
if there is no any.
