My email said that Mirra is based on pyOpenGL and it can optionally be 
used as well under pygame or WxPython. So the default system to open the 
window and manage the events is GLUT which is built in on OpenGL. Check 
the documentation for more detailed info.

i think this is because it requieres the latest version of wxpython.

Even so I can't make even the demo

It wont work unless pyopengl is installed in the machine. The others 
(wxpython and pygame) are optional.
