<pre wrap="">I want to build a 3D CAD visualization program with Python. Now before
you say this is not possible with Python here me out :)
I know OpenGL is probably my best bet BUT i want something a little
higher level than that. I am not ready for OpenGL yet. I would like a
kit that is just above OpenGL and abstracts away all the finer
details, but not too much higher. VPython is a great kit but it is way
too high level for what i want. Here is a list of kits i am currently
looking at so if anybody can offer suggestions i would very much like
the information. Most of these are dedicated game engines but this is
all i can find
Panda 3D
OGRE
Soya 3D
VTK
Cystal Space
CG Kit
SciPy

I use pyglet (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.pyglet.org/">http://www.pyglet.org/</a>). It gives direct access to all
OpenGL, but builds a nice layer of abstraction over it:<br>
<ul>
<li><strong>pyglet</strong>: a cross-platform windowing and
multimedia library for Python.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>pyglet provides an object-oriented programming interface for
developing games and other visually-rich applications for Windows, Mac
OS X and Linux.</li>
</ul>
<br>
<br>
You might also consider SDL and its python bindings.<br>
