Perspective
Pyglet is written entirely in Python. Images, video, and sound files in a range of formats can be done natively but can also be expanded with the libav and ffmpeg libraries. It requires no external dependencies.[3]
Text display and formatting
- Rich text formatting (bold, italic, underline, color change, background color, indent, lists) (
pyglet.text.formats) - Built-in layouts to support editable text
- Carets (
pyglet.text.caret.Caret) - HTML support (
pyglet.text.layout.IncrementalTextLayout)
Image and sprite work
- Fast image processing and rendering
- Built-in sprites (
pyglet.sprite) - Animated images (
*.gif)
Graphics
- OpenGL shaders supported
- Simple built-in shapes (rectangles, circles, triangles) (
pyglet.shapes) - Batched rendering (
pyglet.graphics.Batch) - 3D model rendering
Events and file system
- Resource management (
pyglet.resource) - Clock for processing events and time (
pyglet.clock.Clock) - Window events (
pyglet.window.Window) - Event dispatching (
pyglet.event.EventDispatcher) - Context management
Sprites, text layouts, and text functions are implemented. Multi-level lists are supported and can be created using HTML. Different sections of the displayed document can have distinct styles. A built-in caret provides support for text editing, resembling many features of a UI text input caret.

Example
from pyglet.window import Window
from pyglet.app import run
window = Window(caption="Hello world!", width=640, height=480)
run()
In this example, lines 1-2 import the pyglet module's necessary components. Line 4 creates a window, and line 6 calls pyglet to run its event loop. Optionally an update rate (in frames per second) can be specified in a rate parameter.
