## raylib.dynamic
In addition to the API static bindings we have CFFI ABI dynamic bindings in order to avoid the need to compile a C extension module.
There have been some weird failures with dynamic bindings and ctypes bindings before and often the failures are silent
so you dont even know. Also the static bindings should be faster. Therefore I recommend the static ones...
BUT the dynamic bindings have the big advantage that you don't need to compile anything to install. You just need a Raylib DLL,
which we supply for Windows/Mac/Linux.
Currently the github version includes bundled DLLs in `raylib/dynamic` but the pypi version requires a system installed Raylib.
You can put your own versions in `raylib/dynamic` if you prefer.
Currently the DLL is being removed from the pypi packages but still available in the git repo. Could split into its own pypi package if anyone wants it.
If your system already has the Raylib library installed, you can set the environment variable 'USE_EXTERNAL_RAYLIB' and it will
always be used instead of the bundled DLLs.
See test_dynamic.py for how to use.
