The current edition, is for 4.3, which is what I've been reading. It
includes the glsl stuff, so it's kind of the red/orange book now.

As said, it's pretty much a direct comparison. There are a couple of
minor differences, but you work them out pretty easily, and will likely
find yourself just using the C OpenGL docs. For example, lists will be
automatically converted when OpenGL expects an array, and sometimes you
might not have an argument for the length of the array, as that
information is in the Python object anyway.
