That's just it: PyOpenGL is available for Python 2.5.  Go to "http://
pyopengl.sourceforge.net/ctypes/using.html" for information about
getting and installing it.

Obviously, I don't know what problems are with the tools you tried.
There may be backward-compatibility problems that I haven't
encountered with PyOpenGL on Python 2.5.

I do hope this helps you, even if only a little bit.
