That's a nice page of examples, but there are no OpenGL examples. > Support for OpenGL http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt5/opengl.html told us: > > When compiled against Qt v5.1 or later, PyQt5 implements a set of either > desktop QOpenGL bindings or OpenGL ES v2 bindings depending on how Qt was > configured.

I am not sure whether OpenGL 4.5, which is what Ubuntu installed for me, is an extension of OpenGL ES v2, or something completely different. PyQt5 seems to be at least nominally aware of recent versions of OpenGL, and it knows that I have version 4.5 -- since my program went looking for a module called "QOpenGLFunctions_4_5_Compatibility". On this page... http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtgui-module.html ...the Qt5 QTGui documentation lists a plethora of functions to retrieve OpenGL "specifications" and "compatibility profiles", ranging from OpenGL 1.0 through 4.5. Note, these are not PyQt docs, they are for Qt. I have been sometimes frustrated by the fact that the PyQt modules do not appear to have a one-to-one mapping with the hierarchy of Qt itself. > Obtaining an object that implements the bindings for a particular OpenGL > version and profile is done in the same way as it is done from C++, i.e. by > calling versionFunctions().

And as you can see: trying to call versionFunctions() is exactly where my program failed. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
