All very good news.

My issues with the Windows distribution is narrowed to one.  The fact that
anyone with a prior existing Numeric installation will lose it if they
choose to uninstall VPython. Not earth-shattering.

I am still hoping that if there is a satisfactory "stand-alone" Windows
VPython distribution - which is truly a single download and isolated from
any other Python installation on the machine (along the lines which I have
been pursuing) - there will be more willingness to decouple Numeric and
VPython in a VPython as "extension module" distribution.

But I do certainly  appreciate Bruce's willingness to be open-minded in
taking a fresh look at some of these issues.
