The main issue I have is that I am working with undergraduate students who have no experience installing things from scratch. In this context I am stuck with whatever is in EPD. Currently EPD is at 1.0.1, which does not have animation. Will this file "just work" with 1.0.1 or 0.99.3? I don't have any aversion to using animation.py, I just need to be able to use it within a stock recent EPD.
