PyOpenGL is a set of Python bindings for the OpenGL graphical rendering library. It has a page on how to compile with py2exe, but it is outdated. Here's how I made it work for me, although it is quite wasteful in space.

• In your setup.py, exclude OpenGL although you have PyOpenGL installed. I needed to explicitly include ctypes and logging to make it work, but maybe that depends on what things you use. My setup.py:

  from distutils.core import setup
  import py2exe
  
  setup(windows=['opdracht.py'],
        options={
            "py2exe": {
                "includes": ["ctypes", "logging"],
                "excludes": ["OpenGL"],
                }
            }
        )

• At the top of your main Python file, add the current directory ('.') to your sys.path:

  import sys
  sys.path += ['.']

• Run setup.py py2exe.

• Copy the OpenGL folder from PYTHONDIR\Lib\site-packages to your new dist\ directory. I think it's in C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages by default. You can leave out any *.pyc and *.pyo files.

I think that's what did the trick for me, now . If you need funky stuff like TK, WGL, or OpenGLContext, maybe the original tutorial by PyOpenGL helps.

Tested with Python 2.6, py2exe version 0.6.9 and PyOpenGL version 3.0.0.
