To run the Nehe tutorials, you need to have installed pyOpenGL, obtainable from pyopengl.sourceforge.net.

You also want the pythonish python version of the Nehe tutorials.  The pygame site has a link to

the python Nehe tutorials 1-10 in a zipfile.

 

The pyOpenGL package is multimodule, so use an import something like

 

import OpenGL.GL as ogl

import OpenGL.GLU as oglu

You *probably* have openGL itself installed already, but I cannot really say without knowing

what platform you are running, and maybe what video drivers are installed.   Only the GLUT part of openGL is not

commonly preinstalled.
