PySoy

PySoy is a revolutionary cross-platform Python module that enables developers to create custom Python-based 3D games easily. The PySoy project optimizes the most computation-heavy parts of OpenGL and Physics processing in C, ensuring that it remains efficient while offering a high-level object-oriented Python API. The primary goal of the project is to allow for rapid development with minimal sacrifices.

Built primarily for games, PySoy offers an intuitive API for managing object behavior in 3D space. With an optimized background thread, PySoy takes care of the low-level processing, freeing your Python code to focus on higher-level processing. The software has some requirements such as Python 2.3+ and ODE 0.8, GLEW, GLib 2.0+, libogg 1.1.2+, libtheora alpha7.

This latest 1.0 Beta-2 release comes with native support for Microsoft Windows, allowing multiple windows, splash windows, fullscreen mode, and the same intuitive API to set up, access, and control from Python. The software's start of the new programmable controller system will significantly decrease the latency between input and action while leaving Python free to concentrate on higher-level tasks.

The PySoy project is still under heavy development, but it's already usable for basic games, and it's free software available under the GPLv3. So, if you're looking for a tool to rapidly develop custom Python-based 3D games, PySoy is a perfect choice for you.
