pyglet provides an object-oriented programming interface for developing games and other visually-rich applications for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Requirements

pyglet runs with Python 2.5+ and also with Python 3 through 2to3 tool (which is executed automatically when installing). pyglet works on the following operating systems:

• Windows XP or later
• Mac OS X 10.3 or later
• Linux, with the following libraries (most recent distributions will have these in a default installation):
  • OpenGL and GLX
  • GDK 2.0 or later (required for loading images)
  • OpenAL or ALSA (required for playing audio)

Installation

If you're reading this README from a source distribution, install pyglet with::

python setup.py install

There are no compilation steps during the installation; if you prefer, you can simply add this directory to your PYTHONPATH and use pyglet without installing it.

Support

pyglet has an active developer and user community. If you find a bug, please open an issue at http://code.google.com/p/pyglet/issues (requires a Google account).

% python tests/test.py

The test runner is described in more detail in the tests/test.py docstring.
