I keep having lots of thoughts and dreams on making a game that was made by me. I am a python user and I want to know how I can make 3d games that use OpenGl and python programming. Where do I biggin? Where to start?

Try PyOpenGL (and remember, google is your friend).

I would also suggest using PyGame for the things OpenGL doesn't provide for you, like window creation, input, and sound. You can download it from here:

PyGame

If you're not familiar with OpenGL, you should probably check out the tutorials here:

OpenGL tutorials

A number of these have been ported to Python, and if I remember correctly, some of them are also included in the PyOpenGL download.

k, cool. I have one question I am try to run a script how is openGL supposed to be placed when you unzip it? I know it needs to be in Python 2.5/Lib/Site-packages. But when I try to get a script runing that has from OpenGL.GLUT import * or from OpenGL.GL import * it says it can't find it.
