raylibpy

raylibpy is a Python binding for the popular lightweight and easy-to-use C library known as raylib. Released as an open-source project, raylibpy allows Python developers to create 2D and 3D games, multimedia applications, and graphical tools with minimal effort. It leverages the capabilities of raylib, which provides a simple and efficient API for handling graphics, audio, input, physics, and more, while wrapping these functionalities into a Python-friendly interface.

The project was created to bridge the gap between Python’s ease of use and raylib’s powerful features, making it accessible to developers who prefer Python over C. raylibpy is distributed under the MIT License, ensuring compatibility with most open-source projects. It supports Python versions 3.6 and above and is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Key features of raylibpy include support for rendering 2D and 3D graphics, handling user input (keyboard, mouse, gamepad), loading and playing audio, and implementing basic physics simulations. The library also includes utilities for loading textures, models, and fonts, as well as handling window management and camera controls. Its simplicity and performance make it a suitable choice for beginners and experienced developers alike.

raylibpy is maintained by a community of contributors and is actively updated to include new features and bug fixes from the underlying raylib library. Documentation and examples are available through the project’s official repository, which also provides installation instructions via pip. The library’s design emphasizes ease of use, with a straightforward API that reduces boilerplate code, allowing developers to focus on game logic and creativity rather than low-level implementation details.
