A few backwards-incompatible things I'm thinking of for PyOpenGL 3.0.3+:
* eliminate the interpretation of numbers as arrays, that is, if you
pass 3 to a function expecting an array of integers you will get a
pointer to address 3, rather than a pointer to an array with a
single value of 3
o this will make the Python and C APIs look a lot closer, and
eliminate a common class of issues where someone can't see how
to pass offsets to modern array functions
* drop support for Python 2.5 and below
o to make it easier to do Python 3.x support, e.g. by using except
Exception as var: syntax throughout
I don't expect either of those is *too* controversial, but I wanted to
let people know and have a chance to raise issues before I go about
implementing them (again, post 3.0.2 release).
Have fun,
Mike
