This is really great by the way!
One comment; the way it uses PYSDL2_DLL_PATH is ok, but I find it quite
annoying to use (especially on windows, where the os.env() doesn’t work in
some shells and stuff. :(. If you move the sdl api into sdl.py, you get a
more consistent api (from sdl2.sdl import *, from sdl2.sdlmixer import *,
from sdl2.sdlimage import *) and you can have an init module that lets you
manually specify the dll path.
I was just messing around and come up with:
+class Path(object):
- “”" Allow programatic specification of DLL path+
-
Usage:
-
-
from sdl2.init import Path
-
Path().PYSDL2_DLL_PATH = "blah"
-
import sdl2
- “”"
-
- @property
- def PYSDL2_DLL_PATH(self):
- if not hasattr(type(self), ‘_dll_path’):
-
type(self)._dll_path = os.getenv("PYSDL2_DLL_PATH")
- return type(self)._dll_path
-
- @PYSDL2_DLL_PATH.setter
- def PYSDL2_DLL_PATH(self, value):
- type(self)._dll_path = value
(full diff attached).
Means you can use the api like this, which I really like:
import os
import ctypes
Set path to shared library here
from sdl2.init import Path
Path().PYSDL2_DLL_PATH = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), ‘py’)
from sdl2.sdl import *
from sdl2.sdlttf import *
def run():
""" Renders a string to a fixed surface and draws the entire surface “”"
if SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) != 0:
print(SDL_GetError())
return -1
if TTF_Init() == -1:
print(TTF_GetError())
return -1
window = SDL_CreateWindow(b"Text", SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED,
SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, 800, 600,
SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN)
if not window:
print(SDL_GetError())
return -1
renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED)
font = TTF_OpenFont(“assets/droid.ttf”, 10)
if not font:
print(‘Failed: %s’ % TTF_GetError())
color = SDL_Color(r=255, g=0)
text_surf = TTF_RenderText_Blended(font, “Hello World”, color)
text_value = SDL_CreateTextureFromSurface(renderer, text_surf)
SDL_FreeSurface(text_surf)
r2 = SDL_Rect(10, 10, 100, 20)
event = SDL_Event()
running = True
while running:
while SDL_PollEvent(ctypes.byref(event)) != 0:
if event.type == SDL_QUIT:
running = False
SDL_RenderClear(renderer)
SDL_RenderCopyEx(renderer, text_value, None, r2, 0, SDL_Point(25,
25), SDL_FLIP_NONE)
SDL_RenderPresent(renderer)
SDL_DestroyRenderer(renderer)
SDL_DestroyTexture(text_value)
SDL_DestroyWindow(window)
SDL_Quit()
TTF_Quit()
return 0
if name == “main”:
run()
Not an ideal solution, but something like this would be really handy.
Great work though, all in all. I’m really enjoying using this~

PySDL2 0.5.0 has been released.
PySDL2 is a wrapper around the SDL2 library and as such similar to the
discontinued PySDL project. In contrast to PySDL, it has no licensing
restrictions, nor does it rely on C code, but uses ctypes instead.
Version 0.5.0 is a feature release, which comes with
- a new sdl2.ext.FontManager class, which provides simple TTF font
rendering
- a new sdl2.ext.SpriteFactory.from_text() method, which creates text
sprites
- a fix for Win32 platforms; sometimes third party DLLs are not properly
loaded, if the DLL path is not placed at the beginning of PATH
- minor documentation fixes
You can download it from http://bitbucket.org/marcusva/py-sdl2/downloads.
The documentation, listing all of its features, can be browsed online at
http://pysdl2.readthedocs.org/.
Note:
The SDL2 third party DLL package for Windows is not offered anymore with
SDL2 being officially released now. Please use the official Windows
builds of the DLLs instead.
Cheers
