Hello. I'm an astronomy/physics instructor who makes heavy use of VPython (http://www.vpython.org) in teaching introductory calculus-based physics. Currently, the only way to use VPython under OS X is via Fink, which indeed works very well. However, we *REALLY• need a native OS X port that can run without the need for X11. Neither I nor the original VPython developers are Mac programmers and therein lies the purpose of my request. Is there a kind soul out there who would be willing to port VPython so that it runs with the latest Mac native version of Python (currently 2.5 afaik)? I would be most willing to help with testing and anything else not related to writing Mac code, which I currently just can't do. You would be helping the physics teaching community as well as the Mac and Python communities and there would certainly be undying gratitude from all of us! If you're willing to help us out, contact me on list or off list (email in sig). I would really appreciate it!
