Thanks for the fast reply, Scott, but I'm not sure I understand. I
thought QtOpenGL and python-opengl were independent wrappers around
OpenGL. QGLWidget provides its own context and drawing operations. In
fact, I finally did have some success this morning building PyQt4 from
sources, and I was able to use the QGLWidget class. (Granted, it was
in C++ SIP-translated code, but it worked.)

I can understand wanting to use python-opengl and QtOpenGL at the same
time, but is one really required for the other?

Thanks!
