  Description : PyOpenGL 2.0: OpenGL bindings for Python

PyOpenGL 2 is a rewrite (using SWIG) of PyOpenGL 1.5 (which is available in
the python-opengl package.) It is not quite API compatible (but almost so.)
I have created packages and am in the process of getting them sponsored, in
the mean time they are available for Python 2.1/2.2/2.3 via:

deb http://www.xs4all.nl/~thomas/debian ./
deb-src http://www.xs4all.nl/~thomas/debian ./

No need to repeat the name of the software in the synopsis line.  I
would suggest:

 PyOpenGL 2 allows you to use the OpenGL graphics library from Python 
 programs.  It is a rewrite (using SWIG) of PyOpenGL 1.5 (which is 
 available in the python-opengl package.)  PyOpenGL 2 is almost but 
 not quite API compatible with 1.5.

From the Packages file at http://www.xs4all.nl/~thomas/debian/:

Description: Python binding to OpenGL
 PyOpenGL is a cross-platform open source Python binding to the standard
 OpenGL API providing 2-D and 3-D graphic drawing. PyOpenGL supports the
 GL, GLU, and GLUT libraries. The library can be used with the Tkinter,
 wxPython, FxPy, and Win32GUI windowing libraries (or almost any Python
 windowing library which can provide an OpenGL context).

I'll add in a line about the 1.5 vs 2.0 API compatibility in a future
revision.
