I may have reinvented the wheel. This looks like PyGeo to me.
I don't know what kind of graphics one got from SmallTalk. Python, via
PyOpenGL,
has the power of OpenGL behind it, so that one can achieve real nice 3D
effects -
lighting, textures, the whole thing.
There is nothing new under the sun. The sun here probably at least got
prettier.
