You're hitting this issue from the PyOpenGL project:
https://github.com/mcfletch/pyopengl/issues/15
I had updated PyOpenGL on the MS Windows build systems (this was only
mandatory for the Python 3 builds) without realizing that this broke
something in the Python 2 builds. Thanks for pointing that out.

It means that your client will be running without OpenGL acceleration,
which will make it slower.

Is there a particular reason why you're using the 32-bit version?
We are planning on dropping 32-bit support after the next LTS release.

FYI: you are specifying the ssh port twice, I'm not sure which one will
take precedence, but specifying it once in the connection string ought
to be enough.

I've uploaded newer builds for both 2.3.4 and 2.4 beta, those include
the correct version of PyOpenGL and should fix this problem.
Cheers,
Antoine
