I've checked these but couldn't really get anything new from it.

How exactly does the string have to look like?
I tried having a list vertices = [] and calling vertices.extend([x,y,z])
for each vertex, then did a repr(vertices)[1:-1].replace(',','') to get
a string of successive "x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2.." vertices, but that didn't
work at all with glVertexPointer.

:( This is giving me a headache as I just can't get any more info out. I
don't know what to check, why it is invalid.. nothing.

Thanks for your help,
