Please don't top post <http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/T/top-post.html>.

Are you using Ubuntu, by chance? If you are, try looking at the VPython
archives <https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/visualpython-users>,
specifically this<http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=505EA4AE.5050201%40aut.ac.nz&forum_name=visualpython-users>.
I chose that because although I know almost nothing about VPython it is
recent. Try VPython's list even if it isn't as they're likely to know more
than us.

Also, this error is distinctly different to the one you first posted. What
happened there?
