Where are you reading about this extension?  AFAICT it doesn't show up 
in the extension registry
    http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/index.html
or in my copy of glext.h (downloaded today).

I see this:
    
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/ARB/texture_rectangle.txt
which I *assume* is what you want, and also these:
    http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/NV/texture_rectangle.txt
    
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/NV/render_texture_rectangle.txt

I've just checked in a module providing the ARB extension.  Should show 
up in the next PyOpenGL release (which, if I ever get the time, should 
be showing up any day now).

BTW, list-peoples, if you have simple extensions like this that you need 
wrapped, you can do the wrapping yourself and submit the module to me.  
It's basically all just boilerplate with the particular defines involved 
tacked onto the end of the file.  Functions/methods get a little more 
involved what with the need to support dynamic loading, but simple 
constants-only extensions are trivial to implement. 

I tend not to wrap anything I can't test, so (given the rather outdated 
hardware I'm running) there's not much movement on the extensions these 
days unless people want to work on it themselves.

Have fun,
Mike
