This module provides Python bindings for GLFW. It is a ctypes wrapper which keeps very close to the original GLFW API, except for:

- GLFW_ and glfw prefixes have been removed, as their function is replaced by the module namespace
- structs have been replaced with Python sequences and namedtuples
- functions like glfwGetMonitors return a list instead of a pointer and an object count
- Gamma ramps use floats between 0.0 and 1.0 instead of unsigned shorts
- GLFW errors are reported as glfw.GLFWError warnings if no error callback is set
- instead of a sequence for GLFWimage structs, PIL/pillow Image objects can be used
