I'm cc-ing the ipython dev list because someone else might have
something else to add on this front.
The first thing you should look at is:
http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/Cookbook/EmbeddingInOpenGL
I should add that at one point, I hacked a bit a -gl flag similar to
the -wx/-qt/etc ones in my private copy, as I wanted to interactively
run OpenGL apps from ipython for testing GPU accelerated codes
interactively. It seemed to work kind of OK, but I kept running into
problems with re-initialization of the OpenGL main loop. Since that
project rapidly moved over to a pure C++ codebase, I didn't pursue it
further. Honestly I only spent maybe one hour testing this, so I
suspect a full solution is actually feasible.
Cheers,
