Tom- Thanks. apt-get install python-soya python-soya-doc just worked for me.
Pulled in a bunch of stuff, but a few warnings though. Several FutureWarning but look OK. A few SyntaxWarning too. My default python is 2.3 so maybe that is it. "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/soya/pudding/test.py:42: SyntaxWarning: import * only allowed at module level def test(debug = False):" Having some problems with tutorial windows locking up, like: http://home.gna.org/oomadness/en/soya_tuto/tutomodeling-1.html (which I paste into a Python prompt. :-) I can get a pyramid but the OpenGL window won't close, and I have to get out of Python (seems to tie up Gnome too, maybe their idle loop is using too much CPU? Pegs my system at 100%.). Seems like it will take some understanding (maybe that's what it is supposed to do?) So, not quite a painless out of the box experience -- not to say it is not worth using, just a datapoint on first few minutes difficulties and confusions. Still, I'm starting to lean to just using OpenGL under wx as a starter. I'm thinking that may have the least install problems for proof of concept stuff. [BTW, in the 2D realm under wx, I'm up to P.O.C. #12, with menus to add and remove morphs and tell them to do things.] Thanks again for the pointer. --Paul Fernhout Tom Hoffman wrote: > Actually, I'd forgotten that 'apt-get python-soya' works on Ubuntu at > least (universe repository).
