To run vpython 7 from an IDE you need to have Python 3.5.3+ installed. Note that for use in Spyder you have to go to Run > Configure and specify "Execute in a new dedicated Python console" ( Vpython doesn't work in spyder 3.2.0).

If you execute build_original_no_overload.py, and change the statement "if True:" to "if False", you will generate into the ForInstalledPython folder an un-minified glow.min.js which can be copied to site-packages/vpython/vpython_libraries and tested by running your test in (say) idle or spyder.

Post by pai I'm have installed Python(x,y)-2.7.2.3 on Win7 32-bit system to draw a simple 3D animation with vpython <http://www.vpython.org/> module.

I'm trying to use vpython in spyder to do physics simulations, when I run the code it opens a browser window in Edge to show the result.

The module detects whether the program is running in the notebook, and if not, it sets up http and websocket server mechanisms that display the 3D animations in a browser page. This makes it possible to work in IDLE or Spyder or other environment ...
