Sorry Carl, but I'm a bit confused with your third paragraph. Do you mean that PyGame doesn't work easily with Wx/GTK, or that OpenGL doesn't work easily with Wx/GTK? If it's the second, then I must disagree. wxPython comes with an OpenGL widget in the "wx.glcanvas" module. The widget only requires PyOpenGL. The wxPython Demo shows how to set up and program the widget quite easily. Another example is at: "http:// aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/325392". Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with PyGTK. Their FAQ does indicate that you need an extension to add OpenGL support. --Jason -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
