Re: [Visualpython-users] More wxPython progress

[K.-Michael A. <kmi...@gm...>]

Dear Bruce,

Let me sincerely congratulate on that progress. Us Mac users understand that this is an important step to ensure the survival of vpython in the future, so I'm very very happy to see some light at the end of the tunnel for this problem. 
Now that the future seems safer, one might think about bigger projects with a bit more investment of time. I personally was always dreaming of a space mission planning tool to visualize instrument coverage on planetary objects. There are tools out there but written in Java, so, no further comment ;)
Thanks a lot for your effort and have a nice Sunday!

Michael

PS: sorry that I made no progress in compiling vpython for Enthought but I reached difficulties that were higher than my knowledge of compilations so I gave up for now. Maybe I could try again with the wx version some time? I don't know if it makes a difference though?
