Here's a wxPython version of the pure PythonOpenGL recipe for drawing a ball. Useful as a test to make sure that the wxPython/OpenGL link is working well, and as a starting point for more complicated applications.

Which versions do I need. Which versions of what do I need? I think I have everything, but I get the following errors:

Re: Which versions do I need. Change the import order and try again:

from wxPython.wx import *
from wxPython.glcanvas import wxGLCanvas
