The confusion is how the PyOpenGL site defines a "dependency"...
PyOpenGL "requires" NumPy in a lot of the same ways that PyGame
requires numeric... looks like most of the optional dependencies have
to do with "OpenGLContext" (I don't know what that is exactly, but you
don't need it with pygame + PyOpenGL)

see here:
http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/context/numeric_arrays.html

The PyOpenGL Sourceforge home page is the one that lists the dependencies:
http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/documentation/installation.html

in particular, that page lists:
# Tcl/Tk appropriate for your Python version
# GLUT 3.7+
# Python Imaging Library (PIL) any recent version
# Numeric Python (Numpy) v. 23 (for PyOpenGL 2.0.1.08)

all as dependencies, but each of those is optional
