Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] OPENGL

[horace <hor...@gm...>]

so if i understand this correctly, pyopengl consist of an auto-generated
"raw" opengl layer and another layer on top of it which makes it more
"pythonic"? and the auto-generated ctypes "raw" layer could in theory be
replaced with an auto-generated pyrex "raw" layer? and this could make
pyopengl a bit faster? :) sounds interesting...

i also find the pypy project very fascinating. i am looking forward to see
the first parts of it getting production ready and also to see how fast they
can get python with their jit work.
