Art, I'm impressed by your determination...

Not knowing much about this at a code level, but I thinking more than 
ever that it may be a *really* good idea you look hard at Blender.
I've posted edu-sig several times previously, little or no feedback. No 
matter, but given the lengths you now seem to prepared to go to to 
rescue VPython, I'd be amazed if that effort might not be better applied 
to FIRST researching Blender, then perhaps brining your considerable 
skills to that table.
 
It's a sophisticated active platform to build upon - and it renders 
beautifully !

Lots of  "we" there -- good community including in France.

OpenGL,  cross platform, GPL license,
For many Blender-ers it's their determined creative auto-didact 
motivation to 'do stuff in 3D' that drags them into learning applied 
Python.
For example documentation help and recently a distributed network 
renderer :-)
Python is embedded in Blender. Plus GameKit and 3D web plug in [windows]
