Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] I lost glutKeyboardUpFunc

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@ro...>]

Check your API version for GLUT, glutKeyboardUpFunc is only defined if 
your GLUT API version is at least 13.  Don't really have time this 
evening to track down what version of GLUT that shows up in (or 
FreeGLUT/OpenGLUT, which is probably what you're using on FC2).

    from OpenGL import GLUT
    print GLUT.__api_version__

if __api_version__ is < 13, then there's probably a problem with how the 
GLUT module is getting built (assuming, of course, that Free/OpenGLUT 
has that part of the GLUT API).  This may require tweaking how the GLUT 
#if statements divide up the .i file.

BTW, glutKeyboardUpFunc is definitely there with GLUT 3.7.6 on Win32 
using PyOpenGL 2.0.1.09

BTW2, you may find my new set of links to Python 3D resources helpful 
when writing your game engine ( 
http://www.vrplumber.com/py3d.py?category=game ).  There are actually 
quite a few engines around these days, though only one or two of them 
are written directly in Python.

Good luck,
Mike
