Python + Irrlicht Possible?

Hello. Is it possible or is anyone working on combining Python and Irrlicht? Either to rewrite irrlicht in python or just so that irrlicht could be used in python? Thanks.

I think python for .net is the only option since venom.sf.net is now using neoengine for 3d instead. although its beautiful, python is pretty sluggish and i wouldn't want to use it to write game AI anyway

@guest- write neat code and you won't need to worry about indentation problems.

The original venom is being updated by the guy who runs yammo..

Works well enough as far as I can tell.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I guess Python is probably a little too slow for anything major but I thought for testing purposes it might be do-able.

Python is not too slow. As long as you don't use it for the wrong parts of the game (ie, try to write a rendering inner loop--but that's what Irrlicht is for) and keep your game event-based, there's no reason you can't use Python for any size project.
