ModernGL is a binding library for using modern OpenGL (3.3 and later) from Python. Unlike PyOpenGL, which exposes the C API almost as is, it wraps objects such as contexts, buffers, shader programs, and VAOs in Python classes so that a rendering pipeline can be built with little code. It does not create windows, so it is used together with libraries such as pyglet, GLFW, and Pygame.
