glCreateShader returns 0 value?

I have looked at other answers but none seem to fix my problem. I am not sure why but glCreateShader returns 0 on every run. I have read it could be because of context problems but I am checking for EGL_NO_CONTEXT and it returns false. Any idea what could be causing the problem?

Code:

def LoadShader(stype, shaderSrc):
	shader = glCreateShader(stype)
	if(shader == 0):
		print("Error returned 0")
		if(glGetError()!=GL_NO_ERROR):
			print('GLerror')
		return 0
	glShaderSource(shader, shaderSrc)
	glCompileShader(shader)
	print("Shader status: ", glGetShaderiv(shader, GL_COMPILE_STATUS))
	if glGetShaderiv(shader, GL_COMPILE_STATUS) != GL_TRUE:
		raise RuntimeError(glGetShaderInfoLog(shader))
	return shader

There is a lot of chance that your got a syntax error inside you shader.
example 0 rather than 0.0 or some vecx not the right size. and many other ;))

Start with a very simple shader than test it each time you add new line. It is painfull but very efficient spécially at the begining.
