Looks interesting:

>SnapPea is a program for creating and studying hyperbolic 3-manifolds.

For PyGeo graduates, of course

(With luck this >Python/Tk SnapPea will eventually run on Macs and PCs as

My Linux hole crops up again, so I have not gotten a look
a SnapPea's Python scripting capabilities as yet. So just giving
a cite to what looks like a serious geometry exploration tool,
reachable by Python. As it should be.

It becoming more and more commonplace to be pursuing
an interest unrelated to my interest in Python and finding Python.
