PyOpenGL_accelerate-3.0.2 error

[Sol Simpson]

Hi there,

In case anyone else has had this issue..

When I would try and run any code using OpenGL (via pyOpenGL) that hit the PyOpenGL_accelerate package, I got an error saying there was a data type size error and to try recompiling. This is using WinPython 2.7.3.1 32bit.

My guess was that the issue was because numpy-MKL was being used and PyOpenGL_accelerate-3.0.2 had not been compiled with it present, so 'as a test only', I switched to the standard numpy 1.6.2 (manually) in winpython and then pyOpenGL worked. 

I then put the original numpy-MKL installed folder back, and as a 'fix', uninstalled PyOpenGL_accelerate, and downloaded the PyOpenGL_accelerate-3.0.2.zip 'source' installer. I then added the PyOpenGL_accelerate-3.0.2 source installer to the winpython package manager, and with a  'working' cython setup in winpython, the winpython package manager successfully compiled the cython code and installed the PyOpenGL_accelerate-3.0.2 package. 

PyOpenGL + PyOpenGL_accelerate now runs correctly with the numpy-MKL package.  

Thanks!

Sol
