The only thing I know of immediately available is the Pov-Ray export 
facility (see http://vpython.org home page). This module lets you export 
individual frames as Pov-Ray scene descriptions. Then you can use Pov-Ray 
(which is cross-platform freeware) to render the scenes (in glorious 
ray-traced glory). After that you could use some freeware program to stitch 
the frames together as a movie.

It would be nice to have a lighter-weight scheme for generating, say, a set 
of gifs.
