You need to specify the platform at the command line (or in your script, 
by setting the environment variable):

     PYOPENGL_PLATFORM=egl python -c "from OpenGL import EGL"

by default the common platform for the OS is used, which on Linux is 
GLXPlatform, choosing the EGL or OSMesa platforms has to be done explicitly.
