Changing the python code won't make any difference.
The link instruction above relates to building the pyopengl package.

It may be worthwhile to try the pyopengl Demo/NeHe/lesson18.py 
referenced at the end of the page:
http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/documentation/manual/gluNewQuadric.3G.xml

At least this will remove wxpython from the equation.

Good luck.
