This is part of PyOpenGL itself, it's the primary (only) entry point in 
the OpenGL.GL implementation pyd (GL__init___.pyd).  Not sure how it 
could be left out of the library, as it definitely shows up in the 
2.0.1.04 build on my system.  Might be that you've possibly got an old 
version compiled with something wonky that renamed the initGL__init__ 
method with different decoration.  Other possibility is that *I've* got 
something wonky providing it, but I don't think so, as I regularly blow 
away my build directory to force a clean rebuild.  You might try a 
setup.py build_ext --clean before doing another setup.py build_ext (or 
just kill the build directory and re-try).

BTW, you are using at least SP3 of Visual Studio?  Not sure if it 
matters, but I'd recommend SP5 unless you have some reason not to update 
your Visual Studio.  Can't think of anything else at the moment (I'm 
working on day-job stuff today, so no time to play), so if anyone else 
on PyOpenGL users has a suggestion, pipe up :) .

Good luck again,
Mike
