VPython<p>BEWARE: If you install VPython to use in Jupyter Notebook or Jupyter Lab, note that the instructions at vpython.org do not state that Notebook will not be installed by default, only Lab. Jupyter Notebook must have been previously installed in the same environment OR you must install it manually. I hope this will be corrected soon. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/VPython" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VPython</span></a></p>
