You need to specify the platform at the command line (or in your script, 
by setting the environment variable):

     PYOPENGL_PLATFORM=egl python -c "from OpenGL import EGL"

by default the common platform for the OS is used, which on Linux is 
GLXPlatform, choosing the EGL or OSMesa platforms has to be done explicitly.

HTH,
