[Visualpython-users] gyro.py under Mac OS X won't run

[Joe H. <hea...@vn...>]

Hi.
I'm running VPython (07-22-2002 version) under Mac OS X 10.1.5, XFree86 installed via Fink. I have two questions.

1) The program gyro.py in the Demos folder won't give me a graphics window. I get the text window and absolutely no errors whatsoever, just no graphics window. The program gyro2.py works, as do all the other demo programs so far. Program gyro.py runs perfectly under Windows. Any ideas as to what the problem could be?

2) I have no access to the VPython docs under XFree86 because I have no browser installed. Is there one that is preferred over any other? What browser does IDLE look for by default under UNIX (Mac OS X really)?
