Windows comes with OpenGL libraries.  However, before you can use
OpenGL you'll need a package that can provide an OpenGL context, which
PyOpenGL doesn't do (easily).

PyGame is the typical choice for most uses.  If all you need is a
simple window to draw on, this is the package you want.

However, it doesn't (easily) work with common GUIs like GTK and Wx.
If you want to use use OpenGL in a GUI app, then you'll want to find
an "OpenGL canvas widget" for that GUI.
