Better yet, just use Numpy and Pygame and you'll probably have enough
speed without putting any of your code into a lower language than
python. PyOpenGL too. Python is great for the 'stand on the shoulders of
giants' / 'let other people do the hard stuff for you' (depending on
perspective =) way of working.
