PyOpenGL and PyOpenGL_accelerate
=================================

PyOpenGL is normally distributed via PyPI using standard pip::

    $ pip install PyOpenGL PyOpenGL_accelerate

You can install this repository by branching/cloning and running
setup.py::

    $ cd pyopengl
    $ python setup.py develop
    $ cd accelerate
    $ python setup.py develop

Note that to compile PyOpenGL_accelerate you will need to have 
a functioning Python extension-compiling environment.

Learning PyOpenGL
-----------------

If you are new to PyOpenGL, you likely want to start with the OpenGLContext `tutorial page`_.
Those tutorials require OpenGLContext, (which is a big wrapper including a whole
scenegraph engine, VRML97 parser, lots of demos, etc) you can install that with::

    $ pip2.7 install "OpenGLContext-full==3.1.1

Or you can clone it (including the tutorial sources) with::

    $ bzr branch lp:openglcontext

or (for GitHub usage)::

    $ git clone https://github.com/mcfletch/pyopengl.git
    
The `documentation pages`_ are useful for looking up the parameters and semantics of 
PyOpenGL calls.

Running Tests
--------------

You can run the PyOpenGL test suite from a source-code checkout, you will need:

* git (for the checkout) or bzr (if you are checking out from launchpad)
* GLUT (FreeGLUT)
* GLExtrusion library (libgle)
* GLU (normally available on any OpenGL-capable machine)
* tox (`pip install tox`)

Running the test suite from a top-level checkout looks like::

    $ tox

The result being a lot of tests being run in a matrix of environments.
All of the environment will pull in pygame, some will also pull in 
numpy. Some will have accelerate, and some will not.
