I'm traveling and unable to do this myself right now, but you could
achieve the effect by putting the distant lights into a frame and then
sitting in a loop (maybe with rate(50) to limit processing) and
watching scene.forward. Use any change in scene.forward to determine
how to rotate the frame containing the distant lights. Should work.<br>

Yes, some good ideas coming up here to experiment with.

with a fixed light source.
What would this be called? scene.camera_rotate = False?

Good question. That or maybe one of these?
scene.fixed_light = False
scene.light_on_camera = True
