Comment 2 for bug 482294

The visual python website download page for the latest linux release (seemingly 5.13) located at

http://vpython.org/contents/download_linux.html

remarks:

Here is a package for use with Python 2.5 or Python 2.6 (Python 2.6.2, NOT later versions such as Python 2.6.3 or Python 2.6.4 or Python 3.x): Download and unpack visual-5.13_release.tar.bz2

which suggests that the vpython developers themselves do NOT expect that their library should work with python 2.6.3 or later.

I don't know where that limitation comes from, but it looks like the reason I get a segfault immediately after "from visual import *" on Koala (fresh install) is that python is simply "too new" for vpython.
