Re: [PyOpenGL-Devel] Extension functions in Python3 on Win32

[Rob R. <r.r...@sc...>]

Hi Anthony,

We (Science Applied) are using Py3 with bzr head. I am on Mac OS X, Almar Klein is on Win32. It seems that the result of this bug was that only functions that are provided by extensions (or something the like) were influenced.

Almar is going to work on his visualization toolkit (visvis) to get that to work on Python3 (he just started and this bug was the first issue in PyOpenGL that he encountered). We do now have some of our test cases working, while others are not yet. The problem(s) may be either in visvis or in PyOpenGL, that is to be seen in the coming weeks (he's on holidays next week but he'll probably do some more testing/Py3 porting after next week)

Anyway, for now, I'll create a fork and a pull request.

Rob
