Answer 1

If installing PyOpenGL from easy_install, pip or conda, make sure that you have already installed a GLUT implementation, such as FreeGLUT (prebuilt Windows binaries).

For FreeGLUT, copy the distributed files to a location on your hard drive and then add the path to the bin directory (which contains the GLUT DLLs) to your PATH environment variable. Then PyOpenGL should work as expected.
