Re: [Visualpython-users] How to install VPython v3 and v5 within the same Python installation ?

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

The problem with installing two Visuals for one Python is the conflict 
between the name "visual" being then ambiguous. I just tried a little 
experiment of changing the name of the new site-packages/visual to 
visual5 and installing Visual 3 as well, then trying to do "from visual5 
import *", but that didn't work. Maybe someone else will figure out how 
to fight through the name problems.

Another workaround is to install Visual 3, save a copy of the relevant 
materials from site-packages, then delete from site-packages. Then 
install Visual 5, save a copy of these materials. Now you can swithc 
back and forth by copying the desired files into site-packages from the 
saved copies.
