[Pythonmac-SIG] problem importing OpenGL.Tk

[Patrick Moran]

Hi,

I dipped my toe into wxPython ... on my Linux box at work, to
start with.   The wxGLCanvas demo works fine there.  That's probably
not news, but I decided to begin on the box I'm more familiar with.
Next I'll try my luck with wxGLCanvas on my PowerBook.
