After quite a lot of changes to FontTools and a few changes to ttfquery, I've managed to get 3D text working on Python 3, which was the last thing needed to make a Python 3 version of VPython. I'll be in France for a couple weeks so there won't be a Python 3 version instantly, as I need to clean up some stuff. I'm accompanying Ruth Chabay, who has been invited to give a talk at an international physics education conference in Reims. She's going to talk about the computational modeling our physics students do using VPython. The problems I had to overcome were of course in areas where the 2to3 conversion just couldn't do the job, due to data interpretation issues. I even found a couple of cases in ttfquery where there was N/2 (giving 1.5 if N is 3) which should have been N//2 (giving 1 if N is 3). There was also a case of map returning a map instead of a list, and list(map(....)) wouldn't work. Bruce Sherwood |
