Sorry Carl, but I'm a bit confused with your third paragraph. Do you
mean that PyGame doesn't work easily with Wx/GTK, or that OpenGL
doesn't work easily with Wx/GTK?
If it's the second, then I must disagree. wxPython comes with an
OpenGL widget in the "wx.glcanvas" module. The widget only requires
PyOpenGL. The wxPython Demo shows how to set up and program the
widget quite easily. Another example is at: "http://
aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/325392".
Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with PyGTK. Their FAQ
does indicate that you need an extension to add OpenGL support.
