[Visualpython-users] bug/typo in latest download (artifact of C)?

[Kevin C. <kj...@gr...>]

Hi,

I'm quite new to VPython, and started by running each of the demos to
see what they did.  (I'm running RedHat 7.1, Python 1.5.2, and the
Numerical-13.tar.gz and visual-2001.09.24-3.i386.rpm downloaded from
cil.andrew.cmu.edu last week.)

Most of the demos work (though a few don't seem to want to let me exit).
However a couple give results like this:

    $ python graphtest.py
    Visual-2001-09-24
    Traceback (innermost last):
      File "graphtest.py", line 1, in ?
        from visual.graph import *
      File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/visual/graph.py", line 544
        gvbars.__init__(self, **args)
                           ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax
    $

Known problem?  (I searched the mailing-list archive but didn't turn up
anything.)
