[PyOpenGL-Users] As of 2016, what is state-of-the-art in 3D with Python?

[Michael B. <mi...@gm...>]

Hi all

I'm currently trying to dive into the world of 2D/3D graphics with OpenGL.
I plan to use it for scientific visualisation. Normally I'll have data
that's already close to input data for OpenGL, for example a list of points
+ a list of indices creating triangles form the points + a color value for
each triangle. I plan to use it from Python.

There's a lot of resources about OpenGL with Python, but I'm not quite sure
what's state-of-the-art currently since some resources are several years
old. So a few questions:
- Is pyopengl still state-of-the-art or are there better Python bindings
for a new project?
- Which context library and which bindings is most recommended as of 2016?
I think there's the choice between GLFW, OpenGL Context and GLUT, plus
different bindings for each.

It's relatively difficult to get good answers on these questions since not
too many people do OpenGL with Python. So hopefully the mailing list can
help a bit.

Best regards
Michael
