Mine is at http://slugathon.sf.net

Not actually playable yet, but there's enough code to serve as a decent
example of pb, cred, integration with PyGTK, and passing event objects
instead of sharing live game objects to avoid leaking hidden information
to the client.

I second the recommendation for GoSiege, except that it's more realtime
than turn-based.  (Players move whenever they want to, within some move
rate limit, rather than strictly taking turns.)  This is necessary if
you want your game to scale to large numbers of players without becoming
a wait-fest, but the logic is very different than turn-based games like
poker.
