[PyOpenGL-Users] OpenGLContext-2.0.0b2.win32-py2.3.exe problems

[Daniel H. <da...@bo...>]

Hi all,

I'm just getting started with python and am working on a project with python
and openGL (on win32 so far).  I'm doing a fast sweep of different ways of
managing an openGL context and have managed to get a number of different
things to work.

However, I've had a few troubles when trying to get OpenGLContext to work.
I've only tried the recent binary package... and I'm using it with the
latest available binary installs of Python, PIL, PyGame, Numarray and
PyOpenGL.  I also have Numeric 23.1 installed.

The symptoms:
- had to install PyDispatcher (not listed as a dependency)
- can't find a suitable FontTools binary (and I don't have VC++ 6.0)
- have installed other listed dependencies (GLUT, wxPython, win32all,
MXTextTools, SimpleParse, TTFQuery)
- PyOpenGL seems to work fine
- wxPython's OpenGL widget seems to work fine

But when I try to start any of the OpenGLContext samples I get a crash as
soon as the OpenGL window appears.  The MS debugger tells me:
"Unhandled exception at 0x10017d74 (GL__init___.pyd) in python.exe:
0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000007."

Any hints as to where I'm going wrong?

Many thanks,
Daniel
