There are two (different) sets of Python wrappers for GLE. One
set is included in this directory. Another set comes by default
with the OpenGL Python wrappers at http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/
Neither set should be considered more 'official' or 'standard'
than the other: use the one that is most convenient for you.
Python and SWIG
---------------
The Simple Wrapper Generator (SWIG) can be used to create python
bindings for gle functions. Normally, a small definition file,
run through swig, is enough.
This directory contains the definition and autogenerated code
for a special, non-generally available version of SWIG. It
should work; however, it is unmaintainable. If you are willing to
maintain this code, let me (linas@linas.org) know.
