[Visualpython-users] Python-visual in latest Ubuntu

I too have seen the following problem on the latest Ubuntu but thought
it must be a driver problem, and I haven't had the time to look more
deeply. The bug report mentioned here implies that the problem is with
visual. Has someone on this list successfully run python-visual on the
latest version of Ubuntu? If so, what did you have to do? Thanks.

Subject: Python-visual in ubuntu etc.

Hi,

Just a short question: Are you aware of any way to get python-visual
work in Ubuntu
Linux environment. I am using 64 bit Ubuntu 11.10, but I tried with
virtual machine (virtualbox) 32 bit
11.10 and 10.04 versions, and none of them were working.

There are bug reports out there

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-visual/+bug/787932

but no fix/workaround seem to be around.

I used to find this module very useful but now it just segfaults after
any command like
sphere().
