Well, I'm afraid that VPython hasn't yet run on 10.3 to my knowledge,
and I know that the binary package on vpython.org is incompatible with
10.3.  Chances are that I would need to do some experimentation to make
it work.  I've heard that 10.3's stock Python doesn't include tkinter
either, so that is going to be another interesting thing to work out :)

We don't have a 10.3 machine on campus that I have access to yet, and
Dr. Sherwood is on vacation right now.  If someone would like to
volunteer a non-administrative user account with SSH access I could do
some work on this as soon as the 23rd.

On another note, if it is possible for us to supply a package that
doesn't depend on fink but was larger (probably several megabytes), is
that something that people are interested in?  Or would you rather get a
smaller package that uses fink for some of its dependencies (eg, gtk+)?
