PyGame : How to use Box2D python package - part 001.

About this python package the official GitHub comes with this intro:
pybox2d is a 2D physics library for your games and simple simulations. It's based on the Box2D library, written in C++. It supports several shape types (circle, polygon, thin line segments), and quite a few joint types (revolute, prismatic, wheel, etc.).
In the first step, you need to install the swig Fedora package.
About swig the official webpage tells us:
SWIG is an interface compiler that connects programs written in C and C++ with scripting languages such as Perl, Python, Ruby, and Tcl. It works by taking the declarations found in C/C++ header files and using them to generate the wrapper code that scripting languages need to access the underlying C/C++ code. In addition, SWIG provides a variety of customization features that let you tailor the wrapping process to suit your application.
I install it with DNF tool:
[root@desk mythcat]# dnf install swig.x86_64
