Jupyter VPython is an unusually easy to use environment for doing computational modeling with navigable real-time 3D animations.

Many thanks to Matt Craig for creating a new, powerful mechanism for building installers for Jupyter VPython on Windows, Mac, and Linux. 

The new version 1.0.2 has significantly faster vector operations thanks to work by Ruth Chabay and me to "cythonize" the vector machinery. The new version starts with "1" in recognition of the fact that, with faster vectors, Jupyter VPython is now comparable in speed to Classic VPython, though it doesn't yet have 3D text (recently implemented in GlowScript VPython and a candidate to be made available in Jupyter VPython soon), full extrusion capabilities (not yet available in GlowScript), and frame (also not available in GlowScript).

See vpython.org for details on how to use Jupyter VPython.

Does it not do Python 3?

Works with either Python 2 or 3.
