I very recently was looking for a way to do some scientific 3D visualizations in Python 3. Requirements: OpenGL 3+ (for shaders) and some basic windowing and mouse event handling. I looked at - PyOpenGL, no windowing. - PyGlet, Python 2.7. - PyQt, only OpenGL 2. - PySide, outdated Qt version and more or less unmaintained. - wxPython, Python 2.7. - PyGame, Python 2.7. So, no dice. This is really terrible. Also, the hoops I had to jump through to get some of these installed was just ridiculous. The solution I ended up with? Tornado, websockets and WebGL. Because that is the easiest way I could find to write 3D visualizations for scientific Python. Not Python.
