I will not maintain CVulkan anymore, I have developed a better Vulkan wrapper: vulkan. This wrapper is written in plain C whereas vulkan uses CFFI internally.**
CVulkan is a complete Vulkan wrapper. It keeps the original Vulkan API and try to limit the differences induced by Python.
You can install directly CVulkan with pip:
pip install cvulkan
You can install it manually if you want the last version:
git clone https://github.com/realitix/cvulkan
cd cvulkan
python setup.py install
To contribute, you should first read the How it works section.
Any contribution is welcome and I answer quickly.
## How it works
CVulkan is a C module generated by a Python script. To proceed, the script vulkan_generator.py
computes a model of Vulkan API based on vk.xml (the file from Kronos describing the API) and then
uses jinja2 templates to write the vulkanmodule.c file.
Here the basic steps:
- Load vk.xml
- Use
xmltodictto parse the xml document - Generate a good data model from it
- Pass the model to the
jinja2template engine - The template engine generate the final c file
