[Visualpython-users] error in text.py

[<Kev...@ca...>]

Sorry if my terms are incorrect.  I'm new to Python and VPython.
I'm using vpython 3.0.3  & 3.0.2

Creating TEXT without specifying a color generates an error.
The __init__ method does not handle color equal to None.  Reshape does.

example:
from visual import *
from visual.text import *
t=text(string='ABC')
t=text(string='ABC',color=color.red)

>>> from visual import *
Visual 2004-12-03
>>> from visual.text import *
>>> t=text(string='ABC')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

visible=visible)

    displayobject.color =  keywords['color']
Boost.Python.ArgumentError: Python argument types in
    None.None(convex, NoneType)
did not match C++ signature:
    None(visual::convex {lvalue}, visual::rgb)
>>> t=text(string='ABC',color=color.red)
>>>

It works fine when text.py is modified to check if color defaulted:
class text:
    def __init__(self, pos=(0,0,0), axis=defaultdir, string='',
justify='left',
           height=1.0, width=None, depth=0, color=None, up=None, visible=1,
           display=None):
        if display == None:
            display = scene
        self.display = display
>>      if color == None:
>>          color = display.foreground
