Name: VPython

Description: Package for simple 3D programing in Python 2.2
From the VPython web page:
 While a sophomore in computer science at Carnegie Mellon University,
   David Scherer created a 3D graphics module for Python, called
   "Visual," that is exceptionally easy to use. A program can create 3D
   objects (such as spheres, curves, etc.) and position them in 3D space.
   Visual, running in a separate thread, automatically updates a 3D scene
   many times per second, to reflect the current positions of the
   objects. The programmer does not need to deal with display management,
   but can focus on the computational aspects of the program. The user
   can navigate in the 3D scene by using the mouse to zoom and rotate
   while the program is running. Visual supports full vector algebra.
