So then this is normal for 64 bit Python to separate things.[Labitt,
Bruce]  It could be, but I don't know for sure.  Is there a
"Python-superguru-list" to ask that question?  (I hope I did not just
insult you there - it was not intentional.  You have been extremely
helpful!)

You installed:
python2.4	
	from distro[Labitt, Bruce]  Correct.

ctypes		
	easyinstall
	would ctypes egg-info show x86_64???[Labitt, Bruce]  yes!
	(ctypes is included with python2.5)

PyOpenGL	
	easyinstall
	would PyOpenGL egg info show x86_64???[Labitt, Bruce]  No. No
mention 
      of x86_64.  Are we sure it isn't just a versioning problem?
Either 	with PyOpenGL or ctypes?  Also, it appears that PyOpenGL has
just 	released a new version today, Sept 15th.
PyOpenGL-3.0.0b6.tar.gz.  	The b6 is a bit troubling - maybe the
previous version had a bug?  I 	think I'll try that.  Hmm, how to
easy_uninstall again?

Togl		
	manually copied
	how to verify???[Labitt, Bruce]  Don't really know.  I did
download  	the tar file Togl2.0-8.4.Linux64.tar.gz from
sourceforge.  However, 	FWIW, the folder inside was labeled as
Togl2.0-8.4-Linux.

My PyOpenGL shows
	locate PyOpenGL | grep -i egg[Labitt, Bruce]  I have something
similar.

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyOpenGL-3.0.0b4-py2.5.egg-info
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyOpenGL-3.0.0b4-py2.5.egg-info/PKG-INF
O
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyOpenGL-3.0.0b4-py2.5.egg-info/SOURCES
.txt
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyOpenGL-3.0.0b4-py2.5.egg-info/depende
ncy_links.txt

-safe
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyOpenGL-3.0.0b4-py2.5.egg-info/top_lev
el.txt

grepping through my files shows some win32 references but no clear way
to know if it is a 64 bit version.  Pure python modules do not care.
It's only the modules that link to outside binaries that have an
architecture dependency.

I am out of suggestions.

I see I overlooked this query earlier.  easy_install does not support
uninstall.  easy_install is mostly targeting developers and/or people
who lack a decent package management system.
