To those who have written high speed graphics libraries in python, do those libs call low level executable functions written in C?

  • pyglet

    pyglet is a cross-platform windowing and multimedia library for Python, for developing games and other visually rich applications.

  • moderngl

    Modern OpenGL binding for Python

    I would not use Pyglet, I would use ModernOpenGL. https://github.com/moderngl/moderngl It's still OpenGL but with a more pythonic interface and way less useless boilerplate. Plus you get access to modern features by default (in fact, are required, and btw modern = more than a decade old), and I believe pyglet still relies on old immediate mode opengl.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
