My Python was built as universal (32 and 64-bit), however the 
cvisualmodule.so ended as 64-bit. See below:

$ file /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vis/cvisualmodule.so
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vis/cvisualmodule.so: Mach-O 
64-bit bundle x86_64

In necessary, with some compiler flags tweaking perhaps VPython can be 
also build as fat universal.

Yes, it should be made clear the build yields a X11 interface.

I currently do my small GUIs with Qt/PyQt. It should not be that far 
away from wxPython. Once you get the wxPython running I try to have a 
look on how to have it on PyQt. It would be nice if we could embed 
VPython into other applications.

Are you going to provide this "native-mode" as the default or as optional?

Best,
