Introduction

PyOpenGLng, proudly blessed as is, is an experimental OpenGL wrapper for Python which generates the requested OpenGL API from the OpenGL XML API Registry and use an automatic translator to map the C API to Python. The interface between C and Python is supported by ctypes and also by CFFI which paves the way to use the pypy interpreter.

By design this wrapper supports all the OpenGL version, but it focus towards the programmable pipeline and the most recent OpenGL API. On Linux desktop, Mesa 3D Graphics Library release 10 (November 2013) supports the OpenGL 3.3 API for Intel HD GPU.

The Python package provides three components:

  • an Oriented Object API to the OpenGL XML registry,

  • a ctypes and CFFI wrapper,

  • an experimental high level API.
