Python Bindings for Cel and CrystalSpace

CrystalSpace and Cel both have their own scripting bindings. The modules are pretty extensive and should give you access to most of the c++ api.

The CrystalSpace python module is called cspace, and the cel counterpart is blcelc. Also, a slightly higher level module is available in cel for entity behaviours, called pycel.

Additionally there exists a module called pycscegui in standard cs distribution that wraps the cegui-cs connector, plus the pycsextra module in CSExtra repository wrapping some additional plugins there, notably the cs-qt connector.

You can find them at scripts/python/tutorial* with cs standard distribution.

• tutorial0.py: minimal pure-Python script to setup Crystal Space from Python.
• tutorial1.py: Creates a room and allows moving around.
• tutorial2.py: Creates a room and some object.
• tutorial3.py: Loads a whole world.
