[Visualpython-users] VPython for Python 3 on Mac

I've succeeded in running VPython for Python 3 on the Mac. I've been
using VPython for Python 3 on my Windows machine for some time without
problems. I haven't managed to build on Ubuntu, I think due to
clumsiness on my part in building and installing from source the Boost
libraries for Python 3, for which there is no package.

I'd like to incorporate the thinking of the community on clean imports
of Visual features before releasing anything for Python 3, just for
clarity. I think that a good scheme is likely to emerge very soon.
Let's aim for VPython 5.4 on Python 2.7 and Python 3.1, with a clean
import option available on both versions of Python (in addition to the
convenience/compatibility form "from visual import *").
