PyOpenGL isn't abandonware.  Python 2.5 comes with the ctypes module
[1], so there isn't any need for a binary wrapper module anymore.

Under 2.5, all pure "wrapper" binary modules are unnecessary.  They
can work cross-platform from pure Python, calling directly into the C
function code.  Trust me, this is an excellent improvement.

PyOpenGL probably too low-level for what you want, but it isn't dead
yet.  (It's just pining for the symbol table.)
