Bingo. That was the clue I needed. Here's a link that will be useful 
for others out there:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2003-February/007213.html

The bug is basically that OS X won't load two .so's with the same name. 
I found a binary build that uses Fink's version of Python and life is 
good. So in short, I hope that either Apple fixes this bug with their 
dynamic linker, or else that someone hacks PyOpenGL to name all the 
modules "DirName__init__.so".

Thanks for all your assistance,

Evan Jones
