I'm not entirely sure, but I think what you actually want is
http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/documentation/manual/gluPickMatrix.3G.xml
this lets you render a small portion of the scene (like the portion
that's under the cursor) and stores the rendered objects into a
selection buffer.

Hi,
I'm making a program for visualizing molecules. Each atom will be
selected by the mouse. Since I know the color of each atom, my idea
for detecting if a mouse is over one is as follows:
1: get the color of the pixel the mouse is over
2: if the color is __ select the atom with that color.
The problem is, pygame has issues with OpenGL surfaces and the call to
Surface.get_at() declares I can't call an OpenGL surface. Is there
any way to get around this?
Thanks,
Ian
