Yeah, I'm not too concerned about gluTess* stuff; there's hardware support
for tessellation now, which is better.  And I can honestly say, I've not
had need for either.

I am having a new problem, however.  glutInit is failing.  The error looks
something like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    glutInit()
  File
"C:\dev\Python26\lib\site-packages\pyopengl-3.0.2a4-py2.6.egg\OpenGL\GLUT\special.py",
line 324, in glutInit
    _base_glutInit( ctypes.byref(count), holder )
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

There are similar problems with other GLUT functions.  I read somewhere
that this may be due to 64 bit issues (i.e., PyOpenGL is trying to use a
glut32.dll compiled for 32 bit platforms).  Is this the case?  And is there
a way to solve it for the general case?

Thanks,
Ian
