This should be possible using PyOpenGL and GLUT, with:

	glutInitDisplayString("red=10 green=10 blue=10")

That's based upon a quick look at:

	http://www.amd.com/us/Documents/10-Bit.pdf

I don't have a 30-bpp monitor to test it with.

You may be able to do the same thing using e.g. QGLWidget or wxGLCanvas,
but I don't think that you can get 30-bpp with GDI, so you're limited to
solutions involving OpenGL (or DirectX, if you can figure out the
necessary pieces).
