How to use OpenGL with PySide (Python-Qt)?

[TomiS]

I have a very basic question? What do I need to know to be able to create a simple OpenGL (ES2 or whatever) application with PySide 0.2.3 and Qt 4.6? What I need is just 'hello world' level information

Currently I have Pyside 0.2.3 installed and working with Qt 4.6, which is verified with non-OpenGL applications. However, when I try to say "from OpenGL import GL", the Python claims I have no such library installed. Should I even try to import OpenGL? Should I import something else? Should I apt-get install some library other than 'pyside-qt4-opengl' or 'libqt4-maemo5-opengl' because those I already have?

You can find examples here:
http://qt.gitorious.org/pyside/pysid...xamples/opengl
OpenGL driver is not available for x86 target at the moment.

Yep. I already found those. But when I try to run for example 'hellogl.py' in my N900, the application shows a dialog saying 'PyOpenGL must be installed to run this example'.

I guess an example depends on python-opengl package, which is available for Ubuntu, but not for Maemo.

So are there any plans on supporting Python-OpenGL on Maemo or is 3D programming going to be C++ only?

If you find python bindings to OpenGL ES 2.0, then it will be supported on Maemo
