Daniel, 

Thank you for the packaging suggestion.  I had a glance at 
Chapter 16 of Dive into Python, do the packaging for my own use 
and only then will go to PyPi.  Pointing out the differences is 
a tall order, but I do understand its importance.   Actually, 
airing early the development in  a mailing list may be a good 
way to get some suggestions as to where similarities may be. For 
one, "euclid " was an inspiration.  I started by trying to 
update it for Python 3.x and that lead to developing an 
alternative package. The size of it (in terms of code lines) is 
differs by a factor of 10, partly because the Vectors.py does 
not deal with matrices as for my interests I would need a much 
wider reaching package.

My moves are slow for a variety of reasons, but ignoring advice 
is not one of the reasons.  Your suggestions are greatly 
appreciated.

OldAl.
