[PyOpenGL-Users] GL_VENDOR

[Mads I. <mp...@co...>]

How come glGetString(GL_VENDOR) returns None if I don't have an OpenGL 
context?

My innocent purpose of querying the vendor string is to display some 
driver info in an 'about box'. Normally I get the context by launching a 
QGLWidget from Qt, but it would be really silly to do this for the 
purpose of displaying an about box.

All tricks and suggestions are most welcome,

Mads
