If I had a leadership role in the Python community I would be attempting to direct energies toward overcoming the(very real) issues related to making something very much like VPython part of the standard distribution. Its utility is general enough, its footprint small enough, and its spirit as a visual extension to Python on point enough - that the effort would IMO be well worth it. I know Dethe has made some discouraging efforts. And perhaps more radical surgery than Dethe has tried to undertake is necessary to make it adequately crossplatform. But in the scheme of levels of difficulty, and with the resources available to the community, I can't believe this is not doable - were some sense of importance attached to it. Consider - even Kirby begins to understand its potential.. ;) Art _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
