New improved, with VPython rendering and all the good things
attendant (Povray export).

What is PyGeo?
---------------
PyGeo is a Dynamic Geometry toolset, written in Python,
dependencies on Python's Numeric and VPython extensions.
It defines a set of geometric primitives in 3d space and allows
for the construction of geometric models that can be interactively
manipulated, while defined geometric relationships remain
invariant.
It was created for, and is therefore particularly suitable for,
the visualization of concepts of Projective Geometry.
Doesn't sound like it from the above description, but its fun.
It is also, hopefully:
A take-apart toy for folks trying to learn programming
A insult to the "Old Dog, New Tricks" adage - having been created
by a middle-ager without significant prior math or programming
background.
A work-in-process. HELP WANTED.
