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. It is reportedly slow at the moment. Prabhu hints that he won't be working hard on this, and solicits help. In my experience, ETS builds easily on Kubuntu and Windows (but I probably already have all the prerequisites). Fernando Perez is excited about it, and loves the way it interfaces with Ipython. Personally, I have some kind of video driver issue... it displays an object then freezes. FYI, gary PS, The Enthought Tool Suite is fabulous. It is still under heavy development, and each day two or three *dozen* files are updated in svn, but it is usable. Just about everyone, myself included, that has taken a serious look at it ends up feeling that it will become the standard platform for python scientific applications. Documentation is very weak. Mailing list support is very strong. The key feature is TraitsUI which makes building a GUI very easy. --------------------------------------------------------- Hi, A student of mine, Raashid Baig, has developed a simple VPython-like module called visual that mimics the visual API. The module itself can be used as: from enthought.tvtk.tools import visual or in the visual style: from enthought.tvtk.tools.visual import * The API is almost entirely the same as that of VPython but there are some advanced features that do not work like: * handling 3D "click" events etc. * 3d sliders etc. (this is best done via traitsUI so we punted on that) There is also a slight difference in the way frames and axis work. I've asked Raashid to document this on the wiki. There are a few examples that are also checked into tvtk/examples/visual.
