python - Need to Install PyOpenGL (Windows)

Question

I am trying to install PyOpenGL using pip on Windows 10.
I have tried to install it using pip install PyOpenGL and it tells me that it has installed it successfully but when I try to use PyOpenGL in python, it tells me that I do not have a module named PyOpenGL. Do you know what the problem is?

Answer 1

Go to Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages

Download a 32 bit or 64 bit package for PyOpenGL provides bindings to OpenGL, GLUT, and GLE
(e.g.
PyOpenGL-3.1.5-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl and
PyOpenGL_accelerate-3.1.5-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl)

Open Command Prompt (cmd.exe) as administrator. Change to the download directory and install the packages by pip install packagename.whl.

e.g:

pip install PyOpenGL-3.1.5-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl

and

pip install PyOpenGL_accelerate-3.1.5-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl

If the package is already installed, but doesn't work, then you have to ignore the currently installed package, by the option --ignore-installed:

pip install --ignore-installed PyOpenGL-3.1.5-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl

pip install --ignore-installed PyOpenGL_accelerate-3.1.5-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl
