I have been studying&nbsp;Vpython modules&nbsp;Text and Controls and I am a
little confused by the use of&nbsp; 'range'.<br>
The __init__ parameter list looks like this:<br>
<br>
def __init__(self, x=0, y=0, width=300, height=320,
range=100,title=None, foreground=None, background=None):<br>
<br>
Now RANGE is of course a keyword, but it is being used here as a
variable.<br>
<br>
Using IDLE 1.2.2 produces the following error.<br>
<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; range=100<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; range<br>
100<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; for a in range(1,10):<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; print a<br>
<br>
Traceback (most recent call last):<br>
&nbsp; File "&lt;pyshell#5&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; for a in range(1,10):<br>
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable<br>
<br>
Am I missing something?<br>

Also, I have cleaned up my&nbsp; <a
