GLUT Trouble

[L_E_G_I_O_N]

Hello. I am a relatively new python programmer, but I know my way around the language. I have decided to do some work with PyOpenGL -- I just finished a game that had to be in XNA, now I have a bit more free reign and I prefer to do my work with free software, for the obvious reasons.

However, I have had some difficulty with PyOpenGL so far. I have a very very simple test program to make sure that everything is installed. I think that the errors I am getting are trying to tell me that GLUT is not properly installed. What is going on?

from OpenGL.GLUT import *
from OpenGL.GLU import *
from OpenGL.GL import *
import sys

name = 'ball_glut'

def main():
    glutInit(sys.argv)
    glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DEPTH)
    glutInitWindowSize(400,400)
    glutCreateWindow(name)

    glClearColor(0.,0.,0.,1.)
    glShadeModel(GL_SMOOTH)
    glEnable(GL_CULL_FACE)
    glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST)
    glEnable(GL_LIGHTING)
    lightZeroPosition = [10.,4.,10.,1.]
    lightZeroColor = [0.8,1.0,0.8,1.0] #green tinged
    glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_POSITION, lightZeroPosition)
    glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_DIFFUSE, lightZeroColor)
    glLightf(GL_LIGHT0, GL_CONSTANT_ATTENUATION, 0.1)
    glLightf(GL_LIGHT0, GL_LINEAR_ATTENUATION, 0.05)
    glEnable(GL_LIGHT0)
    glutDisplayFunc(display)
    glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION)
    gluPerspective(40.,1.,1.,40.)
    glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW)
    gluLookAt(0,0,10,
              0,0,0,
              0,1,0)
    glPushMatrix()
    glutMainLoop()
    return

def display():
    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT|GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT)
    glPushMatrix()
    color = [1.0,0.,0.,1.]
    glMaterialfv(GL_FRONT,GL_DIFFUSE,color)
    glutSolidSphere(2,20,20)
    glPopMatrix()
    glutSwapBuffers()
    return

if __name__ == '__main__': main()

leads to error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Python25/Py3D/test.py", line 47, in <module>
    if __name__ == '__main__': main()
  File "C:/Python25/Py3D/test.py", line 10, in main
    glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DEPTH)
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\OpenGL\platform\baseplatform.py", line 258, in __call__
    self.__name__, self.__name__,
NullFunctionError: Attempt to call an undefined function glutInitDisplayMode, check for bool(glutInitDisplayMode) before calling

Is this GLUT difficulties? If so, how do I get GLUT working? Please help. Thank you!

i get the same error when i am trying to write an opengl program i even compiled your code and had the same error
did you find any way to fix it or not?
if yes,please give me the solution ,i am going crazy about it. :(
