So i have been thinking about starting my own opengl binding for python,
but i thought why not come here and post some of what i am wanting out of
an opengl binding.

Make "Modern OpenGL" a first class citizen. Mainly this would involve the
following in my opinion:
- Provide a math library (Something generally equivalent to GLM or others)
- Support opengl profiles, core forward compatible, and compatibility based
off of the xml registry.
- This would also mean providing imports for opengl functionality levels,
so if you import OpenGL 3.3 core, you would be returned a module that
contains all of the required Features at that functionality level, and none
of the removed features.

I also think it would be interesting to experiment with reorganization of
the code to provide an abstraction of ctypes so that a cffi backend could
be introduced. This should allow PyOpenGL to run under pypy with improved
performance.

I have also been thinking about digging into the source, and figuring out
how the whole thing works better. That way i could contribute to the
project. I read through this document:
http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/documentation/development.html
However i suspect that its outdated.
