The Polygon module distributed with VPython may not be used except with VPython. Here's why:
In support of the text and extrusion objects, the Windows installer includes some modules that include Polygon, for which the following conditions apply: "Polygon is being distributed subject to the following conditions: This distribution contains code from the GPC Library, and/or code resulting from the use of the GPC Library. This usage has been authorized by The University of Manchester, on the understanding that the GPC-related features are used only in the context of this distribution. It is not permitted to extract the GPC code from the distribution as the basis for commercial exploitation, unless a GPC Commercial Use Licence is obtained from The University of Manchester, contact: http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~toby/gpc/".th
Installing the missing modules will not fix the problem of erratic behavior. The error message means exactly what it says, that you can use VPython without these modules, it's just that the text and extrusion objects won't be available.
