Maybe an excuse to slip VPython into the standard distro. But certainly that's an issue to be left fully to the side at this point.

I don't know that you can "slip" VPython in as if it were just another module. The standard library is just modules, but VPython is more. And it includes Numerical Python, so if you include VPython you've got Numerical as well. That's a huge addition! (might as well throw in Zope while we're at it :-D).

Yeah - keep conveniently forgetting the Numerical issue. Now that folks are doing an Educational Resource distro (which I think is a great idea) - the issue pretty much goes away, as long as those of us interested try to help publicize its availability. Maybe the only issue that remains down the road is how pre-configured an Educational distro could or should be. ART
