Locians,

Very good news:

GtkGLArea is the Gtk drawing area/widget for OpenGL:

    http://www.student.oulu.fi/~jlof/gtkglarea/

I wrote to James about making a Python wrapper for it, and well, he just did. 
The bottom line for us is that we can make Python-based widgets for Loci to
render 3D models.  Very cool.  This brings us another step closer to integrating
AMMP and MMTk.


Cheers.
