[Python-modules-team] pyopengl accelerator

[Marcus Watts]

I have a debian package for the "pyopengl accelerator"
which I'm hoping can find a home in debian.

I've been experimenting with blender and makehuman.
The latest version of blender wanted a newer version of
makehuman, and so I experimented with the "pure python"
version of makehuman.  That uses pyopengl, but it complains
about a missing opengl accelerate package.  Finding *that*
package was a non-trivial effort, and while it turns out to be
optional for makehuman, it does seems to make it run a lot faster.
( The 1.0.0alpha6 version of makehuman probably won't benefit. )
I'm not sure what other packages in debian might benefit
from this, but I'm hoping there are some.

Home page for this,
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyOpenGL-accelerate

Bad refs about makehuman & opengl accelerate,
http://www.makehuman.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8929

I had hoped for a good reference saying this makes makehuman better,
but apparently the pure python version is still pretty bleeding edge.
