[PyOpenGL-Users] Cleanups and deprecations going forward...

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@vr...>]

A few backwards-incompatible things I'm thinking of for PyOpenGL 3.0.3+:

  * eliminate the interpretation of numbers as arrays, that is, if you
    pass 3 to a function expecting an array of integers you will get a
    pointer to address 3, rather than a pointer to an array with a
    single value of 3
      o this will make the Python and C APIs look a lot closer, and
        eliminate a common class of issues where someone can't see how
        to pass offsets to modern array functions
  * drop support for Python 2.5 and below
      o to make it easier to do Python 3.x support, e.g. by using except
        Exception as var: syntax throughout

I don't expect either of those is *too* controversial, but I wanted to 
let people know and have a chance to raise issues before I go about 
implementing them (again, post 3.0.2 release).

Have fun,
Mike
