[Visualpython-users] Release: VPython 2.9.6

[Jonathan B. <jbr...@ea...>]

I'm pleased to announce the availability of VPython 2.9.6, from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6013  (it may take
a few minutes to get distributed to the mirrors).

This release fixes a few bugs present in 2.9.4, specifically:

The label object properly sizes its border when the text is changed.
The curve object properly handles setting 'pos' to an Nx2 array.
On *nix platforms, the 'vpython' script honors the state of the 
    PYTHONPATH environment variable when set at configure time.
In the presence of both numarray and Numeric, visual will work 
    properly with Numeric.
The license and authors files have been moved to the top-level 
    directory for higher visibility.

What happened to 2.9.5?  It was discovered to have a regression in
the build scripts, so it was removed.

Andy, you mentioned that the vpython script did not export the PYTHON
environment variable.  I don't think that is needed since idle always 
starts its programs using the same interpreter that it was started with.
