library7.6.5pypypiunverified

VPython is a 3D programming environment for Python, enabling easy creation of navigable 3D animations and simulations. This version (7.6.5) is designed for Jupyter Notebook and requires Python >= 3.7. It uses WebGL for rendering in the browser. Release cadence is irregular, with updates focused on bug fixes and Jupyter compatibility.

vpython

✓ import vpython

✗ import vpython as vp

Creates a 3D scene with a red sphere. Must be run in a Jupyter Notebook; VPython renders inline.

import vpython as vp scene = vp.canvas() sphere = vp.sphere(pos=vp.vector(0,0,0), radius=1, color=vp.color.red) # To view, run in a Jupyter Notebook cell

Debug

Known issues

breakingVPython 7 is a complete rewrite from VPython 6; the API and rendering engine are entirely different. Code written for VPython 6 (classic) will not work.

fix

Migrate to VPython 7 syntax: use 'vpython' module, 'canvas()', 'vector()', and avoid 'visual' module.

affects: 7.0+

breakingVPython 7 only runs in Jupyter Notebook or JupyterLab (classic). It does not work in other Python IDEs or command-line scripts.

fix

Install Jupyter and run code in a notebook cell. Use 'pip install jupyter' then 'jupyter notebook'.

affects: 7.0+

gotchaRunning VPython code outside Jupyter (e.g., in a plain Python script) produces no output or error; it silently does nothing.

fix

Always run VPython 7 code inside a Jupyter notebook cell.

affects: 7.0+
