The deep puzzle is why anything works at all, as there isn't a version of VPython that has been built for Windows 64-bit Python. Here are the instructions on the Windows download page at vpython.org: First, download and install Python-2.7.2 (Important: Let it install in C:\Python27) (There is not a VPython version for Windows 64-bit Python, but this 32-bit version of Python works fine on 64-bit Windows machines) Second, download and install VPython-Win-Py2.7-5.74 Bruce Sherwood On Mon, Jul 16, 2012 at 12:39 PM, Gerrat Rickert <gri...@co...> wrote: > I’m running the 64-bit version of VPython 5.72 > (http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#vpython), on Windows 7, with a > normal, 64bit python 2.7.2 interpreter (not Vidle). > > I realize this isn’t an “official” version of VPython, but seems to work > otherwise. > > > > From the interactive python prompt, with a simple program like: > > from visual import * > > sphere() > > > > It displays the sphere, but when I close the Display window, the python > interpreter itself exits. > > Is there a way to prevent this? > > > > ...I can’t seem to use Vidle, if that’s the solution...either the 64bit > version doesn’t install it correctly, or I’m not invoking it correctly > (there is no desktop shortcut, and when I run idle.bat from the command line > I get a “Windows cannot find ‘idle.pyw’.
