Yes, unfortunately closed source.
Is Lightflow available as a shared library? In that case it will issue a warning about incompatible API versions when you use it from Python 2.0, but in actuality it's likely that it doesn't use any of the changed APIs, so it'll actually work just fine.
Of course, this is for Unix or Linux; for Windows, the Python DLL name is (unfortunately?) compiled into extensions...
I am currently doing the coding on Win32, because the usage and installation of VPython is much easier on this platform, and for me OpenGL runs smoother on Win32 (which is a shame). Kind regards, Markus
