It looks like you are trying to install "classic vpython" and not the newer vpython. Is this what you are intending to do?

The latest version of VPython is vpython 7 and instructions for installing it are found at http://vpython.org/ .

You can install the new vpython with either conda or pip.

Using conda you intall vpython 7 with the following command.

conda install -c vpython vpython

Using pip you can install vpython 7 with this command.

pip install vpython

The "classic vpython" is no longer supported and is not undergoing any further development. The new VPython 7 is what is currently supported. There are some changes between "classic vpython" and the new vpython. See the documentation for the code syntax for VPython 7 and here is a description of the evolution of vpython.

How to get started using VPython
Experienced Python / VPython user? Try Jupyter VPython (this is a beta version, under active development): · Install the Continuum Anaconda (or Enthought Canopy) Python distribution. We recommend choosing Anaconda with Python 3.x, especially if you already have “Classic” VPython / Python 2.7 installed on your machine (Canopy uses Python 2.7).
