 |For now, apply the attached patch (a hack) if your Python was built with
 |the n32 ABI.  You may be able to null out library_dirs completely, but I
 |didn't try it.
 |
 |You may run into other problems later when you try to run the demos though
 |(I did).

You'll also need this patch (thanks to Tarn Weisner Burton on the pyopengl
list for this):
