[PyOpenGL-Users] Re[2]: Profiling PyOpenGL

[K. B. ( W. ) <wa...@st...>]

Thanks you (and Georg) for clarifying this glutMainLoop thing.

But I didn't quite understand this phrase:
> forcing a request for a PyGame context in one of the OpenGLContext
> tests

(sorry for sounding dumb but I'm just starting to learn (Py)OpenGl )

Best regards,
