The simplest method by far uses pyglet from http://www.pyglet.org/

    from pyglet import window
    w = window.Window(200, 200)
    while not w.has_exit:
        w.dispatch_events()
        ... do OpenGL stuff

pyglet has no compilation and no dependencies and works on Linux, OS X and
Windows. You can use PyOpenGL with it just fine, or use its own gl layer
(which is intentionally less pythonic)
