Once you have your opengl up to speed (run glxinfo and look for direct
rendering first if that's off you need to play with your X settings)
pyopengl is excellent for rapid development.  because the opengl parts
are still in C and just your logic scripted it's pretty fast too.
Soya3d is a high level engine in python and that's just amazing in
terms of how quick development can be.

Personally I'm more of a 2d man anyway and use SDL or pygame but
that's because I don't have a setup that does opengl with any speed
these days :( when I did pyopengl (for that glut feeling) or soya3d
where my choices.
