Great ! In Java, my 3D engine doesn't interest anyone...:-( everybody was stuck
to Java3D.

There will be probably some C :-( but i promise to minimize the C part; we may
even recode all this C part in Python, to have 2 different versions; in this
case we can use C if available, and default to Python if trouble with C...

Currently i'm still installing PyOpenGL, PyGame and so on...
First we need to recode all the engine; this is rather straightforward...

By the way, is the name "Py3D" already exist ?
