python plotting and visual module

[jhanly]

I've been running python scripts and plotting using "from pylab import plot,show" and all works great in either the python or ipython window. Yesterday I tried a new script with "from visual import sphere" instruction.  I loaded vpython and visual into my python distribution.  But when I try to run this script I get the following message:   SystemExit: This program needs access to the screen.

Please run with a Framework build of python, and only when you are

logged in on the main display of your Mac.

I am clueless as to my next step.  Is this a spyder question or just a python question.

thanks

I tried using the VISUAL module again but this time with another application.  I got same results so it appears that this is not a Spyder problem.  Plotting works fine using matplotlib but not visual.

if anyone has used the VISUAL module (comes with VPython) please let me know if it worked and how you used it.
