Yep, and pyglet is intended to provide windowing, input, music, sound, video,
etc. It has some "extensions" already that are in various states of completion
(none of them quite ;) which do "sprite and tilemap" graphics, XHTML layout,
GUI, etc. The emphasis is on pure-python implementations (as it is with pyglet
itself) so if you could (ie. you can compile or ship binaries for your target
platforms) you'd use something like GFX for faster-than-pyglet graphics.
Except, of course, that pyglet's not actually officially released yet ;)
But fundamentally, GFX* is just using a GL context, and pygame and pyglet both
provide one of
those.
Quick, untested translation of Simon's example to pyglet:
1 from pyglet import window, image
2 from gfx import gl
3
4 w = window.Window(800, 600)
5 gl.init((800,600)) # I assume this is just setting up a projection :)
6
7 im = image.load('ball.png')
8 texture_id = im.texture.id
9 w,h = im.width, im.height
10 while not w.has_exit:
11 w.dispatch_events()
12 gl.draw_quad((0,0),((0,0),(0,h),(w,h),(w,0)), texture_id=texture_id)
13 w.flip()
Note that the gl.draw_quad could be done with "im.blit(0, 0)". A speed
comparison
would be interesting :)
