+An interface between the Python programming language and the OpenGL library
+(and related libraries).
+
+Synopsis
+
+The PyOpenGL package provides interfaces to:
+
+ - The OpenGL library itself, which is a three-dimensional graphical
+ rendering interface. For more information, visit
+ http://www.opengl.org.
+
+ - The GLU library which provides access to routines for doing
+ quadrics, tesselation etc.
+
+ - The GLUT (GL UTilitity) library from Mark Kilgard, which provides a
+ windowing environment.
+
+ - The Togl (Tk/OpenGL) widget from Brian Paul and Ben Benderson (an
+ alternative to GLUT which interfaces to Tk).
+
+The Python bindings offer some value-added tools in addition to the
+standard API, including support for fast processing of arrays of
+coordinates, trackball support, etc.
