ppython

Implementation of processing.org's processing in pure python (processing.py runs on jython, this one runs on pure python). No dependency, no import and no run().

Info

Release name: omri

Stability: alpha, highly volatile, more to be completed

Running

cd ppython/ppython
python ppython.py <path-to-file>/file.py <height> <width>

History

Had this project lying around. Removed it from the fossils graveyard when Dr. Omri Har-Shemesh came to our Python meetup. I was inspired by his high physics background, I was reminded of this in my cupboard and decided to open it to the world.

Please don't see the source code (ppython.py) else you'll chase me out of the Python kingdom.

Why a pure python version?

To simply take advantage of the huge number of machine learning, data science and normal packages available.

How is this different from p5py?

• no dependency

requires only tkinter

• no imports

you only run your code as it should. no from x import *

• no run()

no need to call run() at the end

Dependencies

>>> dependencies is None
True

Absolutely no dependency.
