I have written a package called cgkit (http://cgkit.sourceforge.net/)
which can import a few 3D formats (see here for a list of supported
formats: http://cgkit.sourceforge.net/doc2/importplugins.html).
You could load the models into memory and then use their OpenGL
drawing methods within your own OpenGL code. The drawing code in cgkit
is written in C++, so it doesn't need PyOpenGL itself but works fine
together with it.
Or you could just extract the geometry data and do all the OpenGL
stuff yourself, that's up to you.
