Re: [Visualpython-users] VPython and Python 2.4

[Jon S. <js...@so...>]

Although I can run vpython programs under python (osx 10.3.6), I cannot 
run vpython.

I get this error:

208-186-56-189:~ jis$ vpython
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 1, in ?
   File "/sw/lib/python2.3/idlelib/run.py", line 7, in ?
     import threading
   File "/sw/lib/python2.3/threading.py", line 13, in ?
     from traceback import print_exc as _print_exc
ImportError: cannot import name print_exc

[at this point I must type ctrl-c]

I'd welcome suggestions.   (and will continue to hope that someone will 
roll vpython into a mcEnthon package)

thanks
