It seems that Version 3 of PyOpenGL migrated from SWIG to ctypes:
http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/ctypes/development.html

The source code contains tons of blocks like:

# /usr/include/GL/freeglut_std.h 385
glutInitWindowPosition = platform.createBaseFunction(
       'glutInitWindowPosition', dll=platform.GLUT, resultType=None,
       argTypes=[c_int,c_int],
       doc='glutInitWindowPosition( c_int(x), c_int(y) ) -> None',
       argNames=('x', 'y'),
)

which is more pypy-friendly.
