I think you're right; this does look like a Python 2/3 issue.

I'd recommend using the latest version of PyOpenGL (or using Python 2, if
for some reason you can't). CC-ed Mike directly, although he's on the list,
in case anything needs to be done.

Once the context is set up, you should be fine calling functions from
either. If you need some test code, my
basecode<http://geometrian.com/programming/tutorials/OpenGL%20Program%20Shell.py.txt>shows
OpenGL 2 usage, and is quite robust.
