(I should mention that Adam Hausknecht's problem had nothing to do with
VPython. The Tk package is broken on the Mac; for a fix, see
http://www.python.org/getit/mac/tcltk/.)

You could try building from source, because Steve Spicklemire has made this
quite easy to do, except that you may have difficulties dealing with
installing all the dependencies (wxPython 2.9.4, numpy, FontTools,
ttfquery, Polygon). Get the source "tarball" from the Linux download page
at vpython.org, unpack, and in a terminal cd to the source code, then
execute "sudo python2.7 setup.py install".
