Re: Difficulty with the shaders tutorial

On further investigation, those functions weren't available because I
didn't have an OpenGL context yet. My bad. Moving the set-up to later
on in the program (the first paint call) instead gives these errors:

RuntimeError: ('Shader compile failure (0): 0(3) : error C7533: global
variable gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix is deprecated after version
120\n0(3) : error C7533: global variable gl_Vertex is deprecated after
version 120\n', ['#version 330\n            void main() {\n
    gl_Position = gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix * gl_Vertex;\n
  }'], GL_VERTEX_SHADER)

Feel free to correct me, but it looks like this means that the
tutorial is using deprecated concepts? GL_VERSION is 3.3.0 and
GL_SHADER_VERSION is "3.30 NVIDIA via Cg compiler", for what it's
worth.
