Python Bindings for Bullet

Post by pwagner »

Hey,

I'm searching for python bindings for Bullet. As I have seen there were some attempts using ctypes and some references to SWIG but no one ever reported a functional solution (Maybe not SWIG but Boost.Python?). So I'm asking are there some automatically generated bindings in the mean time?
Or maybe someone can give a hint how to write my own bindings!?

Best regards

Bullet 2.x has a C++ API, which is possible but difficult/impractical to bind to other languages. We'll try to make this easier for Bullet 3.x.

Thanks,
Erwin

Thanks for the answer, but what do you mean with impractical? Does it cost just performance or will it be more inaccurate?
And if the next version of Bullet will be easier to wrap for other languages what is the planned release date?
