campy 0.0.1.dev3

CamPy provides a Python client for the Stanford ACM Libraries for use in introductory programming classes.

Python Wrapper for Stanford Portable Graphics Library

This project provides a Python client to the Stanford Portable Graphics Library.

Therefore, users of this library can write Python code to interact with GOvals, GWindows, and most everything else.

Documentation

Documentation is available at to.be.hosted.somewhere.com. Raw HTML files can be found in docs/_build/html.

Technical Overview

Stanford publishes a JAR file that listens on stdin for text commands, such as GWindow.create, and runs the appropriate command from a Java backend. Thus, any program that can send the right text commands can emulate the behavior of the ACM libraries.

Testing

Very few modules have been thoroughly tested, so the internals of this library may break at any time. The API is not frozen and may change without warning.
