sounds like you already got it started, but don't overlook the "glcube" 
sample the comes in the pygame examples directory :]

the 'context' thing that comes with pyopengl is a simplish set of 
classes that abstract out the opengl intialization stuff. technically if 
you created something with this context, the program could run with 
pygame, glut, wgl, or etc.

this context thing is really only designed for small little opengl 
projects. mainly it is an easy framework for people wanting to learn 
opengl. they just make an instance of a class and give it a function to 
draw. it can be expanded a little further by adding functions to handle 
mouse/key events.

you can use pyopengl without it, opengl just requires some other library 
to handle window creation and input.
