Re: [Visualpython-users] What is IDLE?

Uncelievable!  I went back and re-read your other suggestions from the
previous thread.  After looking around on rpmfind, I could on lyfind the
libstdc++ for RedHat7.0.   I'm using RH6.2, but I decided to install
anyway.  Then, the visual python rpm actually installed cleanly!  So,
thanks for you help on that.

Now, I'm still left with my other question about IDLE.  If IDLE is just
the programming environment, I am guessing it is not included with the
visual python rpm.  I went to python.org and saw I could download
IDLE.  But, if I get that installed will it automatically use the visual
modules?

Also, I've tried running some of the demo programs.  Here's the output:

[morris@domra Demos]$ python1.5 orbit.py 
Visual-2000-11-26
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "orbit.py", line 1, in ?
    from visual import *
  File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/visual/__init__.py", line 12, in ?
    from Numeric import *
ImportError: No module named Numeric


Do I need to get a Numeric module?   

Sorry to be such a bother.   I have tried looking through the
documentation, but didn't really find any answers to these questions.
