============== Introduction

PyOpenGLng, proudly blessed as is, is an experimental |OpenGL|_ wrapper for |Python|_ which generates the requested OpenGL API from the |OpenGL_Registry|_ and use an automatic translator to map the C API to Python. The interface between C and Python is supported by |ctypes|_ and also by |CFFI|_ which paves the way to use the |pypy|_ interpreter.

By design this wrapper supports all the OpenGL version, but it focus towards the programmable pipeline and the most recent OpenGL API. On Linux desktop, |Mesa|_ release 10 (November 2013) supports the OpenGL 3.3 API for Intel HD GPU.

The Python package provides three components:

• an Oriented Object API to the OpenGL XML registry,
• a ctypes and CFFI wrapper,
• an experimental high level API.

.. warning:: We should test all the API to claim a compliance with the OpenGL API. Since the OpenGL API becomes more and more large and complex over the release, such attempt would require a huge amount of work. Up to now only a part of the API was tested successfully.
