PySuperTuxKart2 0.2.0

Python bindings for SuperTuxKart

Python SuperTuxKart 2

This is a modified version of the free SuperTuxKart racing game with Python bindings. A lot of code was borrowed from PySTK, with some main differences:

• The code is now quite close to SuperTuxKart (no code deletion) so that SuperTuxKart updates can be easily applied
• The assets are now downloaded in a "cache" directory (no more data package)
• (project) races can be run in parallel (e.g. for Reinforcement Learning experiments)

The current source code is based on the SuperTuxKart 1.4 branch. The PySTK changelog can be found in this file.
