Is "vis.py" the name of your program? As it appears, this is a bad idea, 
because vpython has a module named "vis" (in .../site-packages/vis/). 
This can lead to confusion.

Here is the confusion. Instead of importing the "vis" module, which 
defines box, it opens your vis.py. Box is then undefined.
