It is a real shame that ubuntu is released with an 3.x alpha version of python-opengl. It does not only contain many bugs, it is also incompatible with previous versions. Programs that run fine with the stable 2.x releases of python-opengl, are not guaranteed to work. Please read the release notes:
3.0.0a6: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=486765&group_id=5988 3.0.0a5: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=465796&group_id=5988 3.0.0a4: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=455848&group_id=5988 A quote from these release notes: ------------ This is still a rather early alpha. We're missing big tracts of functionality, such as the AGL and WGL libraries (we do have raw XGL support). There is lots of work still to be done and we would love to see your patches to get your favourite bit of the package working. Bug reports, reports of success/failure and the like are also useful. We haven't even begun to optimise the code, btw, so expect it to be very slow. ----------- I am currently preparing a release of a program that uses python-opengl, but a lot of the visualization has become completely trashed with python-opengl-3.0.0a6, due to incompatibilities with the previous version and bugs. This makes it impossible to release my software for ubuntu users. That's a real shame. -- Serious performance regression from recent update from 2.0.1 to 3.0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135736 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
