Fully agreed. That's why I keep building .debs as well over installing from 
source and getting into the shallows of an unmaintainable system over the 
course of time. After all, VPython is not the only library I need to add to 
get my stuff going.

Indeed, very true! It's so much more understandable knocking up a script in no 
time to place multi-dimensional data in a 3D scene with it. The other gem is 
of course Mayavi2 for this purpose ...
