Unable to install Vpython with Anaconda using conda install

enter image description here

I am trying to install Vpython as per instructions on their documentation website but am receiving this error.

I have anaconda3 running on a 64-bit computer.

Any tips?

Solution

  • It looks like you are trying to install "classic vpython" and not the newer vpython. Is this what you are intending to do?

    The latest version of VPython is vpython 7 and instructions for installing it are found at http://vpython.org/ .

    You can install the new vpython with either conda or pip.

    Using conda you intall vpython 7 with the following command.

    conda install -c vpython vpython

    Using pip you can install vpython 7 with this command.

    pip install vpython

    The "classic vpython" is no longer supported and is not undergoing any further development. The new VPython 7 is what is currently supported. There are some changes between "classic vpython" and the new vpython. See the documentation for the code syntax for VPython 7 and here is a description of the evolution of vpython.
