pysdl2-cffi is a Python wrapper for SDL2 written using cffi, featuring:

• A cffi + dlopen interface to the underlying SDL2 libraries.
• Automatically generated, consistent helper functions for SDL2, SDL_image, SDL_mixer, and SDL_ttf that hide most allocation and dereferencing.
• Useful docstrings on every function, including the C function signature and (for SDL2 only) the library's original doxygen documentation reformatted as Sphinx restructured text.
• A small collection of libSDL2's original example / test programs converted to Python using Eric S. Raymond's ctopy.

The goal is to provide a flat, consistent, faithful-to-C binding with some more-Pythonic renaming and conveniences.

This wrapper won't contain anything that doesn't directly translate to part of the library's API. The goal is to be a dependency for something like pygame, not a replacement.

This library should be compatible with Linux, OSX and Windows.

This library is licensed under the GPLv2 or (at your option) any later version. Alternatively a commercial license can be purchased from the author for a nominal fee.
