Error in basic extrusion script

[Ted Sheridan]

Hi all - I'm fairly new to Vpython (using Spyder) but have picked up most of the basics. I just started experimenting with extrusions of 2D shapes to make 3D objects. I'm getting the right results in the graphics window, but not without getting an error response. The script is as basic as possible.  I could just ignore it, but I'm wondering what's going on or if anyone else has had this problems. 

SCRIPT:

from vpython import  shapes,extrusion, vector  

circle = shapes.circle()

circle_path = [vector(0,0,0),vector(1,0,0)]

extrusion(path = circle_path,shape = circle)

ERROR:

Works fine for me in Spyder. What do you see when you execute print(version)? What version of Python are you using? What operating system? What browser? Here are the recommend installation instructions from vpython.org:

We recommend installing the Anaconda Python distribution.

The vpython module currently works with Python versions 3.8 through  3.12.

The 3D displays are rendered by WebGL in a browser window. For details, see
    https://vpython.org/contents/VPythonArchitecture.pdf

The vpython module is available using
     "conda install -c vpython vpython" or
     "conda install -c conda-forge vpython" or      
     "pip install vpython"

To update to later versions of vpython use
     "conda update -c vpython vpython" or
     "pip install -U vpython"
