Python has excellent OpenGL bindings:

You can use these bindings in combination with Tkinter, but that GUI 
toolkit is IMO becoming obsolete. An attractive alternative is FOX, 
which comes with a standard GLViewer widget (featuring quaternion 
rotation, picking, lighting, etc.).

You can find more info about Fox at:

I don't know whether wxPython has an OpenGL canvas (I'd appreciate
more info on this myself).

Cheers & happy hacking,
