glBegin()
... draw
glEnd()

it would be nice to write:

with glContext():
    ... draw

I know I can easily create my own glContext context manager, but it
just seems that it would be nicer built in. Or is there one and I just
haven't found it?

Just want to make sure that you aware that immediate mode is deprecated in modern
OpenGL versions <http://arcsynthesis.org/gltut/>.

I've implemented some context managers here:
https://github.com/adamlwgriffiths/PyGLy/blob/master/pygly/gl/legacy/...

Note the legacy module prefix.

Also, be aware that using multiple context managers in a single with
statement will result in undesired behavior due to the order that python
unwinds them.

Ie:

with matrix_mode( GL_PROJECTION ), matrix( projmatrix ):
   pass

Python unwinds in the same order it set (go figure), so the following will
occur:

matrix mode begins unknown
matrix mode push - matrix mode now projection
matrix push - matrix added to projection matrix stack
matrix mode pop - projection mode popped from matrix mode, matrix mode
unknown
matrix pop - matrix popped from unknown matrix stack
