[Visualpython-users] VPython-Win-Py2.4-4.beta2.exe

[Dr P H B. <P.H...@bh...>]

I have downloaded VPython-Win-Py2.4-4.beta2.exe (but visual.version = (4,
'beta1'))

My operating system is windows Me (update from windows 98)

When I import visual as [from visual import *], dir() generates error
message : see below
but if I import it as "import visual" dir(visual) works ok

When I type ball = visual.sphere() I get message from PythonW :
PythonW has caused an error in OPENGL32.DLL

Help, please

IDLE 1.1.3
>>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__']
>>> from visual import *
>>> dir()

Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
>>> ball = sphere()
