Question

What are good libraries for creating a python program for (visually appealing) 3D physics simulations/visualizations?

I\'ve looked at Vpython but the simulation

Answer 1

If I needed a visualization package for python, I would start with Processing.py: https://github.com/jdf/processing.py

This is a python binding for the java-based Processing.org codes. A quick comparison can be found here: http://wiki.processing.org/w/Python_Comparison

Of course, if you are not constrained to python, then Processing itself would also be a good starting point: http://processing.org

There are also python bindings out there for Visualization Toolkit (VTK), but most of their examples are either C++ or Tk.

If all you're looking for is scene graph to move geometries around, not native vis, then I have seen some python binding for Open Scene Graph out there, eg: http://code.google.com/p/osgswig/

Good Luck!
