Thanks! Bruce suggested the same solution. I'll try it out.

You can define a new simple label function of your own, which is 
"attached" to an object like the following example:

from visual import *

bb = box()

def objLabel(object, **kwargs):
    ll = label(pos=object.pos, **kwargs)
    return ll


ol = objLabel(bb, text="Center of a Box")

So now instead of using VPython label function, they can use objLabel 
function, with an object attached to it.

That's an interesting idea.  Most Labels *are* attached to objects.
If an objects label attribute is None, display nothing.

The problem is that Label currently has it's *own* set of attributes,
so one would have to make all Labels have the same characteristics
(which might be acceptable and could be settable in the Frame or
Display object).

Probably is better than Python and the programmer handling all those
separate Label objects.
