The python code from some of the tutorials (ex. Lesson 1) is out of date, and won't run properly with up to date versions of PyOpenGL. If you guys want, I can submit what I find needs fixing as I go through the tutorials (they are very nice for learning OpenGL.)

Well, so far, 1 and 3 have errors in them (making a call to sys.exit() when sys hasn't been imported) and use glut commands that don't exist in PyOpenGL anymore (glutSetDisplayFuncCallback(), etc.) and all of them use glutInit() without sys.argv (1 and 3 don't pass glutInit() a list, and cause the program not to run.) Overall, the current code will not run because of the non-existant commands being used, and errors in the handling of glutInit(). The problem with not importing sys is not Fatal, as it only causes the program throw up an error and die when it was supposed to die anyway.

I am using Python 2.4.4 and the latest version of PyOpenGL available to Sabayon users through emerge: 2.0.1.09 (released in 2004)
