PyGeo

On Tuesday 31 August 2010, it occurred to L to exclaim:
> Traceback (most recent call last):

THAT's the information I was waiting for. So, it looks like everything is 
working together, except that the visual module appears to have changed 
somewhat since PyGeo was written. Importing "visual" within PyGeo appears to 
have worked, but "visual.ui" doesn't exist. 

After having a brief look at the documentation, I found no mention of a "ui" 
object, but there appears to be visual.display -- so, if you wanted to port 
the package to the latest VPython, that would be a place to start: replace 
"visual.ui.display" with "visual.display", and try again. And the fix the next 
problem, and so on, until it works, when you can send a patch to the old 
maintainer.
