PyOpenGL isn't abandonware. Python 2.5 comes with the ctypes module [1], so there isn't any need for a binary wrapper module anymore. Under 2.5, all pure "wrapper" binary modules are unnecessary. They can work cross-platform from pure Python, calling directly into the C function code. Trust me, this is an excellent improvement. PyOpenGL probably too low-level for what you want, but it isn't dead yet. (It's just pining for the symbol table.) --Jason [1] http://docs.python.org/lib/module-ctypes.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
