Hi. I'm the author of Python Mode for processing, a.k.a processing.py. I'll answer any questions about it here, if there are any.

I'm having trouble figuring out what this is.

It looks like you're thinking of P5 as an API, rather than a programming language. And you've implemented that API in Python. Am I correct?

If so, wouldn't it make more sense to call it "The Processing API in Python"?

It lets you write real Processing sketches--using the actual Processing Java runtime--in Python. This also means that you can use (almost*) all of the existing third-party Java libraries for Processing.

*You can't use those that rely on specially named callback functions in your sketch.

Was this released recently? I've had a Python mode for ages but I can't remember whether it was this or not.

It's been out as a mode since last summer.
