I have some source that includes pyopengl
Just give me some time to settle down, I'd be glad to share

Subject: Re: [Idle-dev] The Future of Python


Thanks for pointing out iPython, which indeed has many good features. 
GlowScript and VPython have a different goal, which is to make it quite easy 
for nonexpert programmers, including novices, to write programs that generate 
real-time navigable 3D animations as a side effect of computations. One very 
large population (several tens of thousands per semester) is students in an 
intro physics course who, despite no prior programming experience, use the 
VPython module to be able to write short Python programs that model physical 
systems and show 3D animations of these systems. VPython is also used in 
several advanced computational physics textbooks. GlowScript could also be an 
appropriate environment for these students if the programming language could be 
Python rather than JavaScript or CoffeeScript, which aren't very good languages 
for novice use.

Phil and Bruce,
  One of the best ways to run Python from the web is with iPython's notebook 
feature:

This might not be exactly what you want but it works great for scientist and 
engineers.  Sharing code between S&E's is trivial with iPython.  I find iPython 
good for developing small chunks of code and sharing with people.  Anything 
serious I still use IDLE.
