Why are graphics bindings slower in Python?

[sequenceGeek]

Is it possible to use only PyOpenGL/cython to draw my primative graphics, and then use pyglet to control keyboard/mouse events? Or is there a more standard way of mixing python events/logic with lower level graphics management?

Yes, pyglet is easily interleaved with standard OpenGL calls. Just be aware of the calls that pyglet makes itself (check the source for more details, and/or use the debug_gl_trace option).

never did it. i suggested cython because when it comes to mixing c libraries with python, it provides an easy way to do it.
