Stef,

To the best of my knowledge (which is quite limited on this matter as 
I'm not using personnaly this module), there never was a stable version 
of VPython since v3 which relies indeed on Numeric instead of NumPy as 
mentioned Jim.
Moreover, v5.0 being a release candidate, I guess that it's intended to 
be more stable than v4.0 which was a beta release.

Thanks for your interest in Python(x,y),
Cheers,
Pierre
