That is true.

It should be trivial to do so.  You just have a function that starts the
VPython process instead of the child fork.  Note that then you need to
either set the VPython window title as a parameter or have an agreed
title name (otherwise xwininfo will not work).  That reminds me, I am
not sure that xwininfo works on Windows either... So maybe not so
trivial.

A much nicer solution would involve threading.  However, I could not
make it work.  The code core dumps when it attempt to embed VPython.  If
anyone wanted to help, I would not mind working it out but cannot afford
to spend the time at work doing it.  Sorry.
