PyOpengl - an opengl wrapper. Version 2 is written in c, version 3 instead uses ctypes Pyglet - an opengl + events/sound/etc wrapper written in ctypes pygame - an sdl wrapper for 2d rendering, sound, music, events, etc that can be used with pyopengl if 3d hardware support is desired. If you want to do 3d, your choice is basically pygame+pyopengl or pyglet. pyglet is nice because it comes with everything you need, versus pygame where you have to interact via pyopengl. Pygame +pyopengl2 is faster than pyglet or pygame+pyopengl3 becuase pyglet and pyopengl3 take a hit from ctypes. There is a project with pyopengl3 though to add some c code to speed things up, I think it works with numeric. Pyglet will be easiest to start with and use, it seems to be everyone's favorite choice these days. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
