The problem is that Cocoa is implemented in Objective-C, and you need Cocoa for windowing and events. One can access Cocoa from Python using PyObjC, but unfortunately this brings problems of its own. For one thing, you wouldn't be able to run pyglet from the command prompt (PyObjC only works from properly constructed app bundles). -- Tristam MacDonald http://swiftcoder.wordpress.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pyglet-users" group.
