I can't seem to find a version of PyOpenGL 2.x for Python 2.5 on Mac OS X.


While there does seem to be the speed issue wtih pyopengl 3.0.0a5, 3.0.0b6 doesn't seem to work at all. It gives back really interesting errors. Want to see one of those?

John,

As for the speed issue, what video card did your old G5 iMac have? (I
can see your MacBook has an Intel GMA X3100.)

Also, can you try with PyOpenGL 2? PyOpenGL 3 uses the slower
ctypes-based interface, and I'm curious to see if this could be the
problem.

Alright... I didn't see that the demos are now within the universal

Wow, it seems like a lot of dropped frames on my MacBook.  I seem to
remember far fewer on my old G5 iMac.

This is latest versions of pretty much everything on Mac OS X.

(most other demos run great).

Hi John,

It looks like you aren't using multi_stim.py from the Vision Egg 1.1.1
source.

The old version (what you're using) uses Numeric's RandomArray and
friends. The new version uses numpy. (numpy is the new version of
Numeric.) You can definitely fix this by running the new multi_stim.py.
You can probably fix this by installing the old Numeric if you can
find it.
