vrml97.arrays is part of PyVRML97... assuming it's installed...

easy_install pyvrml97

should have happened when you did

easy_install OpenGLContext

There's no need at all for OpenGLContext to use extensions.  
OpenGLContext is a separate project.  The reason I mentioned it is that 
it has *sample* code for using shaders.  Extensions are all available as 
simple imports in PyOpenGL, see:

OpenGL/tests/tests.py:552

for an example of using the frame buffer object extension in PyOpenGL, 
for instance.  Or OpenGL/arrays/vbo.py for code using vertex buffer objects.

HTH,
Mike
