Let's make a test to see what is this:
>>> import PyQt5
>>> from PyQt5.QtOpenGL import *
>>> dir(PyQt5.QtOpenGL)
['QGL', 'QGLContext', 'QGLFormat', 'QGLWidget', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader
__', '__name__', '__package__', '__spec__']
The QtOpenGL is used to take an OpenGL content and show into the PyQt5 application.You need to kknow how to use OpenGL API.
You can see the result of this example:
This is the source code for my example:
import sys
