"""A RenderMan(R) binding for Python.

This module contains a complete binding of Pixar's RenderMan API. The
binding was written to be compliant to v3.2 of Pixar's RenderMan
Interface specification. However, it also supports some newer features
such as string handles for light sources or object instances.

It is safe to import the module using::

  from cgkit.ri import *

All the functions that get imported start with the prefix Ri, all
constants start with RI_ or RIE_, so you probably won't get into a
naming conflict.

After importing the module this way you can use the functions just as
you are used to from the C API::

  from cgkit.ri import *

  RiBegin(RI_NULL)
  RiWorldBegin()
  RiSurface("plastic")
  RiSphere(1,-1,1,360)
  RiWorldEnd()
  RiEnd()

For more details on using the module see the cgkit manual at
http://cgkit.sourceforge.net/
