PyOpenGL on Ubuntu for Python 2.7
Question: I am trying to install PyOpenGL and so far have tried the following ways:

  1. $ pip install PyOpenGL PyOpenGL_accelerate
  2. $ sudo python2.7 -m pip install PyOpenGL PyOpenGL_accelerate
  3. Some variations of the above...
  4. Installation from source. 

Unfortunately I still can't run the following imports:

    
    
    from OpenGL.GL import *  
    from OpenGL.GLUT import *
    from OpenGL.GLU import *
    

I am getting the error message:

> unable to detect undefined names

Am I missing something? Do I need to install more packages?

Do I need to get OpenGLContext seperately? If so, how do I install that, since

    
    
    pip install PyDispatcher PyVRML97 OpenGLContext
    

doesn't work either.

Any help would be much appreciated!


Answer: Try sudo apt-get install python-opengl
