I'm not sure if VPython has been updated to Python2.0 for linux.  You can
check out the
VPython page at http://virtualphoton.pc.cc.cmu.edu/projects/visual/
Or the mailing list archives:
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/3931/2000/
Or the SourceForge site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/visualpython/

I've been using it under windows mainly because configuring linux for OpenGL
(not to mention all the extensions, etc.) is painful to me.  Because I'm a
sucker for punishment, however, I'm going to try to get it working under
RedHat on my laptop and if I have any success I'll pass along any insights.
