[PyOpenGL-Users] Problems importing OpenGL under Python2.3

[John F M. Jr <jo...@jo...>]

Earlier I posted a message stating that I had difficulties importing 
OpenGL and that the problem resided in GL__init___.pyd
I believe I found the problem.
Specifically, PyOpenGL depends on numarray, not Numeric (numpy).
If you run from a console you will see this error:

$ /cygdrive/c/Python23/python
Python 2.3.2 (#49, Oct  2 2003, 20:02:00) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on 
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import OpenGL
Fatal Python error: Can't import module 'numarray.libnumarray'

If you are using a Python GUI such as IDLE, it will only give you a 
runtime error.
Once I installed numarray-0.8, I could import OpenGL just fine.

Please update you're documentation to indicate this dependency change. 
Or at the very least, change the name of the executable from: 
PyOpenGL-2.0.1.07.py2.3-numpy23.exe 
<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pyopengl/PyOpenGL-2.0.1.07.py2.3-numpy23.exe?download> 
to PyOpenGL-2.0.1.07.py2.3-numarray0.8.exe

Other than this small dependency problem, thank you very much for making 
OpenGL work under python.
John
