[Pythonmac-SIG] building pyopengl on Tiger?

[Josh Marshall]

As a side note to this discussion on building PyOpenGL 2.0, I'd like  
to mention that Mike Fletcher is working on OpenGL-ctypes, which is  
to become PyOpenGL 3.0.

I am working on the Mac OS X porting work. Many of the simpler tests  
now run, but there are still many issues to be worked out. With  
regards to release times, Mike has said:

So if anyone uses PyOpenGL on the Mac, please check it out from CVS  
and bang on it a bit.

Cheers,
Josh
