OpenGL.error.NullFunctionError: Attempt to call an undefined function glutInit,
check for bool(glutInit) before calling

i copied and paste this from the internet to my project,so there should not be any error.
I am only 15 years old,so please dont use too much hard to understand or mathematical term in the answer.

Why is no one answering me?

Apparently, there is no glutInit in the namespace. There is a hint in the error message to check for glutInit() before calling it.
The bottom line.

"check for bool(glutInit) before calling"

You can do the same calling dir():
if 'glutInit' in dir():

Thanks,let me try it first.
I will come back if there is still error.
I also heard from another website that glut needs to be downloaded seperately because it does not come with pypl PyOpenGL download.

It's quite possible. This module is big
