Summary: pyopengl-3.0.2, python-2.5 syntax errors

Initial Comment:
There are 2 syntax errors for python-2.5 compatibility which your webpage states that this release is still compatible with.  In Gentoo we have restricted 2.5 for now.  It is of low importance for most users.  We can re-enable for python-2.5 if this is fixed, or you have a patch.  You also list python-3.2+ as experimental, We can enable that when you feel it is ready for further testing also.
