PyOpenGL 2D Texture Error

[SgtMe]

Hi.

I am trying to get texturing to work in PyOpenGL in 2D. I have the following code so far for textures:

def tex(path):
    img = pygame.image.load(path)
    img.convert_alpha()
    try:
        ix, iy, image = img.get_width(), img.get_height(), pygame.image.tostring(img, 'RGBA')
    except SystemError:
        ix, iy, image = imgs.get_width(), img.get_height(), pygame.image.tostring(img, 'RGBA')
    ID = glGenTextures(1)
    glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, ID)
    glPixelStorei(GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT,1)
    glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, 3, ix, iy, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, image)
    return ID

This is in an external script that I call from my programs, and it produces the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<PATH>", line 39, in <module>
    Main()
  File "<MY_PATH>", line 20, in __init__

    glGenTextures(1, glTex2D.tex('start.png'))

        ),
        cArgs = (
                GL_TEXTURE_2D,
                0,
                3,
                270,
                100,
                0,
                GL_RGBA,
                GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,
                '\xff\x00\x00\xff\xff\x00\x00\xff\xff...,
        ),
        cArguments = (
                GL_TEXTURE_2D,
                0,
                3,
                270,
                100,
                0,
                GL_RGBA,
                GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,
                '\xff\x00\x00\xff\xff\x00\x00\xff\xff...,
        )
)

Please can somebody help me with this.
Thank you very much for yoru time.
