This was a very silly error on my part. The junk file was supposed to be
deleted when I finished replacing it, but it never got removed. I've
just released a (very lightly tested) PyOpenGL-3.0.0b5 package that
fixes this and another bug. If you can't download again, just deleting
the offending file from the source directory should eliminate the problem.

HTH,
Mike
