Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] Book to refer for learning pyopengl

[Jonathan H. <ta...@ta...>]

If you use cross-platform libraries for windowing, like pyglet, then 
your Python OpenGL scripts should run fine on any platform. I routinely 
make games for PyWeek using pyglet and PyOpenGL, and I'll develop for 
one platform (often windows, so I can send my game to my friends) 
without even testing them on any other platform, and at the end of the 
week find that my game works on all of (windows, linux, mac)
