Re: [Visualpython-users] More wxPython progress

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

I've created a new GitHub repository for the wxPython version of VPython:

   github.com/BruceSherwood/vpython-wx

Should you wish to play with this, note that at the moment I think it
will only work on Windows, for which I handle GetProcAddress (in the
file site-packages/visual_common/create_display.py).

You need to install wxPython, and at this moment there isn't yet a
version of wxPython for Python 3.x, though it seems to be not far off.

In the folders visual and vis are __init__.py files that invoke
create_display.py, which does the Jiu-Jitsu trick of importing the
user's file that imported visual or vis..
