Re: [Visualpython-users] Beta test version of VPython for Python 3.1 for Windows

Suppose we don't add any new file to site-packages/visual but simply
document something like the following, for the ultimate flexibility
that some people want and need. Here is a little program that
explicitly imports individual components and then uses them:

# Very explicit imports:
from visual.cvisual import (vector, mag, mag2, norm, cross, rotate,
                      comp, proj, diff_angle, rate, waitclose)
from visual.primitives import (arrow, cylinder, cone, sphere, box, ring, label,
                              frame, pyramid, ellipsoid, curve,
faces, convex, helix,
                              points, text, distant_light, local_light)
from visual.ui import display
import visual.crayola as color
import visual.materials as materials
import visual.site_settings
import atexit as _atexit
_atexit.register(waitclose)
scene = display()
# Now use this stuff:
box(pos=(1.5,0,0), color=color.orange, material=materials.wood)
C = curve(pos=[(0,0,0),(1,0,0),(1,1,0),(0,1,0)], color=color.cyan)
print(C.pos)
scene.mouse.getclick()
scene2 = display(x=400)
sphere()

I don't know whether the imports listed above really do span the
space, which requires more testing.
