[Visualpython-users] VisualPython over the web

[Bruce P. <bap...@te...>]

I don't think the bandwidth is enough for running and controlling a Visual 
Python program over the Internet. I've used VNC (a program for remotely 
running another computer) to run a visual python program over a 100 Mbs 
network with less than satisfactory results. There was enough lag in the 
controls that the usual Visual Python operations (rotation, zoom) were 
basically useless ( you always ended up overshooting the desired result). 
Visual Python over the net might work if you didn't want control -- but 
then you'd be better off dumping the animation to an animated GIF file 
which is supported by most browsers. VRML would be the next step up -- 
giving the user some control of viewpoint.
