Thanks for the clarifications.

I had no idea why PyWhip was out.

The connotation I'd gotten was like CoolWhip [tm] -- some kind of foamy
sugary thing.

Given the geometry-intensive curriculum I work with, I'm likely reliant on
students having a local interpreter handy, along with 3rd party add-ons.

I was doing more with VPython last night in fact, on the clock for one of
our sponsors (Oregon Curriculum Network is over a decade old).

Maybe I'll "see" some of you at tonight's the Math 2.0 event.
