Description: Python binding to OpenGL
 PyOpenGL is a cross-platform open source Python binding to the standard
 OpenGL API providing 2-D and 3-D graphic drawing. PyOpenGL supports the
 GL, GLU, and GLUT libraries. The library can be used with the Tkinter,
 wxPython, FxPy, and Win32GUI windowing libraries (or almost any Python
 windowing library which can provide an OpenGL context).

I'll add in a line about the 1.5 vs 2.0 API compatibility in a future
revision.
