What I'm trying to do is code a basic OpenGL 2.0 window, when I run the code from a file, it works for the first couple of runs, then it dumps errors. If I run the same exact code from the IDLE GUI, I get a window every time. The following is first a list of added Python 2.6.6 packages, the code and the errors. Am I using any conflicting packages? Am I missing a package? My imports work in the IDLE GUI. Any help would be great!!

Sorry for the length of the post, I just wanted to fully document the problem. The Py install is running on Win XP SP3, IDLE header:
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84297, Aug 24 2010, 18:46:32) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
I tried this and it worked in my case,
I typed C:\python26\python setup.py install to execute the package install
Once this completed, I ran a basic OpenGL script in IDLE, Dr.Python, and PythonWin. All three IDEs were able to create the correct OpenGL window (a 400x400 window, black background, and a white wire-frame teapot.) without any errors. With this solution I was able to keep Numpy 1.6.
