Unrelated on this thread here, but anyway...

Hmm I didn't realise 3.1.0 was released for *NIX already, I must
have missed the announcement.  To make matters even worse I have
had a bad hardware crash and am thus (hopefully not for too long)
working on a machine not capable of compiling or running VPython.
This means I can't really produce a Debian package for version
3.1.0 for now.

What I remember from packaging the 3.1.0 where things still
needed to be changed in the build scripts (did you manage to get
them right?) is that it didn't need any changes to de debian/
subtree at all.  So I could just apply the old debian tree to it
but I don't want to advertise it publicly when I can't test it.
If you're really eager in getting 3.1.0 as a Debian package you
can just try and copy the debian/ tree yourself, it will be
equally untested.

I'll try to get remote access to a machine running debian where I
have enough administrative rights to build and install which *is*
capable to compile VPython over the weekend.  This means I still
won't be able to test the graphics but I will be able to test and
tweak the build.
