Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] Vista, PyOpengl 3.0.1b2 and VBO's

[Alejandro S. <as...@gm...>]

Hi Nils,

I ran into the same issue when porting VBO code from Linux to Mac. In  
my case, the problem was that the function's signature was different  
on both versions: on Linux it received two parameters (one was an  
"out" value where to place the new newly created buffer's reference)  
whereas on Mac it just received the number of buffers to create and  
returned the reference(s) by means of "return".

In order to keep my code portable I surrounded the call in a  
try...except block and fall back to the other call.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Alejandro.-
