Re: [Visualpython-users] more physics examples?

Nice!

Very minor suggestion: You can print entire paragraphs with a single print 
statement, using triple quotes:

print """
This is a
paragraph.
"""

For additional physics programs beyond those provided in the demos that 
come with VPython, follow the links on the front page of the VPython site:

Use by students in the physics course Matter & Interactions
A module by Markus Gritsch for quickly building ball-and-spring models
