That's what I'm using is PyCharm and it seems to be so much better than Eclipse/PyDev, at least for a beginner. Anyway, is that the whole library in /Lib/site-packages/visual? Does it install anything somewhere else? Also, I see the visual directory but for some reason, I cannot import anything from this directory, as I get errors in PyCharms built-in console. This is the particular error:
Traceback (most recent call last):  File "C:/Users/airspoon/PycharmProjects/goo/vis.py", line 1, in <module>    from visual import *  File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\visual\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>    from .visual_all import *  File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\visual\visual_all.py", line 1, in <module>    from vis import version  File "C:\Users\airspoon\PycharmProjects\goo\vis.py", line 3, in <module>    floor = Box (pos=(0,0,0), length=4, height=0.5, width=4, color=color.blue)NameError: name 'Box' is not defined

This is what I get when I copy and paste the 'bouncing ball' example from the vPython website. Isn't that telling me that it can't import anything from the visual library?
Thanks for the help
