[Visualpython-users] Release: VPython 2.9.7

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

This release is expected to be the last beta before releasing VPython
3.0 from this series.

All renderable objects contain a new member function, __copy__(), which
produces a duplicate of the old object after applying a user-defined set
of keyword=value argument pairs.

Some internal changes have been made to produce a smaller extension
module.

Visual cooperates with numarray when it is installed.  Numeric is still
required, but both Numeric and numarray may be installed at the same
time.

The build scripts for OSX have been updated.  The source tree contains a
file, mkdist_osx.sh, that will download, build, and install GCC and
Boost.Python from source.  Run the script from its own directory.  You
must have fink and the fink packages python23, numeric-py23, gtkglarea,
pkgconfig, and wget installed to use the script.


Enjoy,
Jonathan Brandmeyer
