While Python tries very hard to be backward compatible, the transition
from the 2.x series to the 3.x series was intentionally allowed to break
backward compatibility in certain areas.

If VPython only supports 2.x, you should ask the vendors to support at
least 3.3 or better, preferably the full 3.x series. In the meantime, you
may have to stick to the 2.x series.

Trying to run Python 2.x code in 3.x? Yes, that's common. Trying to run
VPython? Not so much.

Good luck!
