Thanks for your advice.

I am specifically looking for an example that has cairo + opengl with
python2.7 and gtk3 :-)

I have code for cairo+python2.7+gtk3 and that is working well for me but I
have a requirement for loading opengl too and my research suggests that
leveraging cairo for this is one of the options.

I am also working on pyclutter, gtkglext and if neccessary sdl options
too. I am just trying to find the most efficient and portable method.
