[Visualpython-users] Future directions

[Dethe E. <de...@an...>]

Hi folks,

I'm just discovering VPython and I think you're doing a great job.  I have a
few questions about the future, for your virtual crystal balls:

Will there be an update to Python 2.0 when that is released?

Is there any support for texture mapping in the works?

How about support for custom lighting?

Finally, not really a question but a comment.  I've also been reading about
Kirby Urner's work with Python, using it to teach math
(http://inetarena.com/~pdx4d/ocn/numeracy0.html).  He uses Python to write
out povray files, but most of his examples would work great with VPython
instead, and have much more immediacy (and I plan to tell him so on the
EDU-SIG mailing list), but sometimes it's nice to do a static, ray-traced
rendering.  If VPython were able to take a snapshot in povray format, that
would be cool.

Thanks for the great tool.
