Today I installed vtk_meta-1.spkg. I'm searching for a replacement in SAGE for VPython (an amazing (teaching) tool). http://www.vpython.org/
Remembering a note on the VPython mailing list brought me here: http://www.aero.iitb.ac.in/~prabhu/Software https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/wiki/TVTK This looks very interesting. Jaap FYI the note: > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: [Visualpython-users] a Vpython "look alike" ... perhaps of interest > esp to Mac users ??? > Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2007 12:09:24 -0400 > From: Gary Pajer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > The message below recently appeared on the Enthought listserv. > see http://www.enthought.com > > An interesting development. *Not ready for primetime* ... very alpha. > But I wonder if it might be of interest to those working on the Mac. > I really have no idea if it has any bearing on a native Mac > application or not; someone will have to look into it. > > It exists *only* in the Enthought Tool Suite (ETS) svn.
