My versions are:
Python 3.5
PyQt: 5.5.1
Qt: 5.5

I will try to put together a short script, but my experiments show that
despite update being called, paintGL is only called twice when the widget
is created.  Some things like adding and removing widgets from the vbox
layout that the QOpenGLWidget belongs to also triggers paintGL
invocations.  For some reason the paintGL invocations are not being emitted
by QOpenGLWidget.update.

Of course, I can't know, but I cannot find anyone running into this problem
on Qt, whereas two people have run into it on PyQt.
