## Code highlights

1. Create the SDL window and the E3DViewer.
   ```python
   window = SDL_CreateWindow(b"Easy3D - 3D Viewer Sample", SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, 800, 600, SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL)
   context = SDL_GL_CreateContext(window)
   SDL_GL_MakeCurrent(window, context)
   viewer = eVision.Easy3D.E3DViewer(eVision.Easy3D.EUIAPI.Qt)
   ```
