Re: [Visualpython-users] Text in 3D

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

I don't fully understand this problem, but a solution is to import the 
controls module before importing the text module. The issue is some kind 
of collision between the name of a module ("text"), the name of an 
object in that module ("text"), and an attribute "text" of some objects 
in the controls module.

I'm afraid that the text module is a bit of an orphan. It was created 
very early in the development of VPython but hasn't received much care 
and feeding.
