[Visualpython-users] Some ideas

[Konrad P. <piw...@st...>]

Hi,
I am quite new to python and visualpython. I am going to create some
programs to demonstrate molecular dynamics simulation of gas, liquid
crystals and polymers, so visualpython seems perfect to me.
However, while looking inside the code of visualpython, some comments
appeared:
 - I would like to have a tkWidget to display visualpython animations -
is it possible to develop such widget?
I think the architecture of vpython is not suitable for it - if I am
wrong, please correct me.
 - Wouldn`t it be easier to use PyOpenGl library instead of interacting
with OpenGl directly. The software seems to be quite usefull since the
version 2.0 appeared (http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/)
 - If you need to use 'raw' OpenGL, why not use Glut library instead of
differnt wgl, xgl, etc... for displaing windows

I think, that using one of libraries I mentioned, would accelerate and
simplify visualpython development.
Thanks for explanation in advance
