Does Raspbian come installed with PyOpengl?

Question

Pretty much just what the title is, does it? I want to know since I want to learn opengl using python...

Answer 1

The python-opengl package isn't contained^* in the Raspbian image by default, but you can easily install it:

sudo apt-get install python-opengl

Answer 2

You may use apt-cache command to find out what packages are available for your system.

In your particular case:

$ apt-cache search opengl | grep python
python-glitch - Python library for OpenGL graphics programming
python-gtkglext1 - GtkGLext python bindings
python-opengl - Python bindings to OpenGL           <-- here it is!!
python-pyside.qtopengl - Qt 4 OpenGL module - Python bindings
python-qt3-gl - Qt3 OpenGL bindings for Python
[...]

Answer 3

n.st's solution works fine for python2. If you happen to have a python3 app you will want to

sudo apt-get install python3-opengl
