OpenGL Texture for OpenCL in Python

Question

I want to pass a OpenGL texture to OpenCL in Python Therefore I create a texture in OpenGL using a frambuffer:

        fbo =glGenFramebuffersEXT(1))
        glBindFramebufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, fbo)
        depthbuffer = glGenRenderbuffersEXT(1)
        glBindRenderbufferEXT(GL_RENDERBUFFER_EXT, depthbuffer)
        glRenderbufferStorageEXT(GL_RENDERBUFFER_EXT, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, width, height)
        glFramebufferRenderbufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT_EXT, GL_RENDERBUFFER_EXT, depthbuffer)       

        texture = glGenTextures(1))
        glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture)
        glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST)
        glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST)
        glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA8,  width, height, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, None);
        glFramebufferTexture2DEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_EXT,  GL_TEXTURE_2D,texture, 0);
        glBindFramebufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, fbo);
        RENDERSCENE()
        glBindFramebufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, 0);

After that I create the OpenCL context and try to pass the texture from OpenGL to OpenCL like this

        self.context = pyopencl.create_some_context()
        self.queue = pyopencl.CommandQueue(self.context)
        if pyopencl.have_gl():
              self.image = pyopencl.GLTexture(self.context, pyopencl.mem_flags.READ_WRITE,GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, texture, 2)

The texture works fine, if I use it in OpenGL but whehn I tried to use it with OpenCL it crashes:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/jul*/*/*er/FBOtest2.py", line 250, in <module>
    fbo.mainGameLoop()
  File "/home/jul*/*/*er/FBOtest2.py", line 223, in mainGameLoop
    self.transformTexturesForOpenCL()  
  File "/home/jul*/*/*er/FBOtest2.py", line 63, in transformTexturesForOpenCL
    self.image = pyopencl.GLTexture(self.context, pyopencl.mem_flags.READ_WRITE,GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, texture, 2)
pyopencl.LogicError: clCreateFromGLTexture2D failed: invalid context

I'm not sure you can create "some context". You will need to create the OpenCL context with knowledge of the OpenGL context. Look here for more information on CL-GL interop.
