Getting Started
Installing Pyrrlicht
The simplest means of getting started with Pyrrlicht would be to simply download a prebuilt release for a supported platforms, install it as a Python extension, and start programming your Irrlicht project using Python instead of C++. This project has just started, though, so at the moment no such prebuilt release exists.
Building Pyrrlicht
If your platform is not supported by a prebuilt release, or you wish to use your own tools to build, or you wish to participate in the project's development, then you must obtain buildable source.
Building Pyrrlicht from source involves the following prerequisites:
- You need to configure the required development tools.
- You need to download and build the required third-party libraries.
Once you have properly configured your development environment, you can obtain the actual source from the Pyrrlicht Subversion repository. You may learn in detail how to access the repository using a proper Subversion client, or how to browse the repository using any web browser from our SourceForge SVN page. In most cases, you will want to check out the trunk HEAD revision using the following URL with your SVN client:
