I did, it's in the list...

So high-level visualisation APIs like Mayavi are not the solution right now, as they also seem very "heavyweight" with a lot of dependencies.

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.
