[PyOpenGL-Users] Error importing testingcontext from OpenGLContext

[Abhijeet R. <abh...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am new to opengl and I am using python to learn the library. As a start, I
started following the tutorial
http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/context/tutorials/shader_1.xhtml

I opened up python interpreter & I got this error. Googling didnt help much.
There is no sure shot answer as to why is this error coming.

>>> from OpenGLContext import testingcontext
INFO:OpenGL.acceleratesupport:No OpenGL_accelerate module loaded: No module
named OpenGL_accelerate
PREFERENCELIST ('pygame', 'wx', 'glut', 'tk')
>>>

And I want to make a point that simply importing OpenGLContext doesnt cause
any errors.

>>> import OpenGLContext
>>>

Please help me and guide as to what is the issue?

You're missing the OpenGL-accelerate package, which you can grab from here:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyOpenGL-accelerate
It may have other dependencies as well. This isn't necessary for
normal OpenGL use, but apparently the testing context requires it.

I installed the package, now I see this in interpreter.

>>> from OpenGLContext import testingcontext
INFO:OpenGL.acceleratesupport:OpenGL_accelerate module loaded
PREFERENCELIST ('pygame', 'wx', 'glut', 'tk')
>>>

What does that mean?

It means that OpenGLContext will use, in order of preference, pygame,
wxPython, GLUT and Tk on your machine.  There's a mechanism to allow you
to override that for your machine, but it's probably the correct order
for most users who are just planning to test the code.  Pygame is the
most-tested and well supported context, wx is very close, but has a few
long-standing bugs with multiple contexts.  GLUT works fine, and is a
good fallback, while Tk is pretty much not ready for prime-time due to
my not really caring all that much about it.

The log message really is just an "info" level thing, just telling you
what the context preference order is.

HTH,
Mike
