Good point about the lack of Windows binaries. Perhaps some kind person will
make some available. This seems to be an inreasing trend I note for Python
extensions :-) I have not played with it at all yet, but it lists among the
section 'Scientific.Visualization: 3D visualization modules':

Scientific.Visualization.VRML: create VRML files containing simple
geometrical objects.
Scientific.Visualization.VRML2: almost identical to VRML, but produces VRML2
syntax (aka VRML97)
Scientific.Visualization.VMD: provides data visualization via the molecular
visualization program VMD.
Scientific.Visualization.VPython: provides data visualization via the
VPython extension module.
