Are there graphic intros written in Python?


.. like those 64k intros (most with sound) which IMHO usually are written in C/C++ (and mostly for Windows only). Maybe I'm just using the wrong terminology, but I didn't find anything, despite I guess those would be quite interesting pieces of code..

Python isn’t suits these kind of tasks, like first answer said.

But I know sceners using Python for prototyping the demo effects with pygame or sdl.

Maybe searching “demo effects with python” or “animating with python” queries help for this kind of information.

Or you can look at the processing platform.

Because Python does not give you enough speed nor size (for size constraint competitions like 4k, 64k...). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene
