I have tried to work on this in the past and would be willing to help again. My main problem is with the build environment. If I can get it to build consistently, I can write the bits that are needed for OS X. What I need is someone who understands autoconf better than I do. Do you know of *anyone* who has been able to build the latest beta versions of VPython on OS X, even with Fink and X?
