To get you code running I needed (in addition to the PyOpenGL download)
to download. 

glut-3.7.6-bin.zip (117 KB) from http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html

and put the glut32.dll where python can find it, the readme says
<windows>\system which worked, but sticking it in the same directory 
as python.exe (c:\python25 in your case) worked too.
