About 1), it's hard to be able to tell without seeing the error message and
what line actually generates it.

Regarding 2), this is for the most part a numpy thing, which I think seems
correct :)

Other than that, I see a couple of potential problems in your code. You are
using an Identity as the projection matrix, yet you seem to supply your
triangle coordinates in pixels. This is a semantics issue. When using an
Identity as the projection matrix, you are asking OpenGL to render using
device normalized coordinates. These span from [-1,-1] to [1,1], where
these points (-1,-1) denote the lower-left corner of the screen and (1,1)
the top-right corner. If you want to use pixels, you should create an
Orthogonal projection matrix with left and bottom zero and right and top
width and height (in pixels) respectively.

Also, OpenGL matrices are column-major. Make sure you transpose your
matrices when supplying them to your shader.

Hope this helps,
Alejandro.-
