I don't use PyOpenGL, but it most likely uses compiled extensions 
(.pyd). Compiled extensions are not portable between different versions 
of Python. Even with no PyOpenGL code changes, the libraries would need 
to be recompiled with the Python 2.3 headers/libraries. So, yes, you'll 
have to wait for a Python 2.3 release of PyOpenGL, unless you want to 
try downloading the source and compiling it yourself...
