Actually VPython comes with it's own version of IDLE. That one behaves okay. It uses the regular IDLE but changes the property settings.
One IDE I use a lot is DrPython, and it gives me no problems with VPython code.

My main problem with IDLE is that it uses TCL internally and loves to hang up on certain firewall settings.
Thanks man, that fixed that problem :)
yeah, thats true
Do you know any goood tutorials for VPython?
VPython installs pretty good html docs with many nice working examples in its 'visual' directory
There is also a pdf at:

Make your head swell a little:

Yeah but i cant get into much of that becauase the people who made Ubuntu are too damn proud of its over-secure os.
Thankyou for that :P
