[Pythonmac-SIG] Question on Python 2.5 and CoreGraphics

[Dethe Elza]

CoreGraphics wrapped by Apple using the built-in Python (Python 2.3  
in Tiger).  The binding itself is binary and proprietary, so it can  
only be used with the built-in Python.

NodeBox, which appears to be a clone of DrawBot (which was inspired  
by Processing, etc.) has a library for CoreImage.

Robert Kern wrote a wrapper for CoreGraphics which is part of Kiva  
(http://code.enthought.com/kiva/).  He split it off as a standalone  
package, but the URL I have for that no longer works (problems at  
Starship Python).  I have a copy of an early version (version 0.0.0)  
which I can send you if you like.  I believe it uses Pyrex to build  
the extension.
