[Visualpython-users] [ANN] vpython now in fedora

[Thomas S. <to...@fe...>]

Hi list,

the review of python-visual [1] is now approved, and I try to get
python3-numpy into fedora. When that is done, I'll also build a
python3-visual package so fedora will have the visual module for both
python runtimes available.

Greetings,
   Thomas

That's great!

I'm about to release VPython 5.4 for Windows and Mac, for both Python
2.7 and Python 3.1. I had been waiting for a fix to IDLE (and so also
to VIDLE) for a serious, recently-discovered problem on the Mac, that
didn't prompt for saving unsaved code when you quit (either command-Q
or menu Quit). A patch addressing this problem was posted at
bugs.python.org just today.

VPython 5.4 will include the new vis module for selective importing
from visual, for both Python 2.7 and Python 3.1.

I've also been trying to build Visual for Python 3.1 on Ubuntu 10.10
but have been running into various difficulties and haven't yet
achieved success. Perhaps we can exchange experiences.

FYI: Idle is not in fedora, so I delete the executable right now...

In F-13 is still python 2.6 and only in F-14 python 2.7 and python 3.1,
but in the upcomming F-15 is already an alpha of python 3.2, so if
there are any compiling issues, I guess, I'm the first one, who hits
them ;-)

Sure, currently I'm mailing with the numpy packagers to get the python3
package at first, and after that I'll start in compiling a
python3-visual module. Before that, it won't be possible for me...
