OpenGL xscreensaver ants in python

This is just to see how the xscreensaver opengl extension ant for ant maze turing machine looks. It is translated from C to python fairly easily , and would go to webgl, just as easily. The sphere ant is utterly ripped off from the GL screensavers in linux with no value added whatsoever.

  quadratic = gluNewQuadric()
#  gluDisk(quadratic,0.5,1.5,32,32)
  gluSphere(quadratic,radius,32,32)

  cos3 = cos(ant_step + 4 * pi / 3);
  sin1 = sin(ant_step);
  sin2 = sin(ant_step + 2 * pi / 3);
  sin3 = sin(ant_step + 4 * pi / 3);

 Python with OpenGL seems very capable of presenting a 3D interface to a complex model structure capable of realistically representing a simulated ant environment in real time.
