More vPython compatibility

[rbarve]

If we want to have the brython-glow interface look closer to vPython than glowscript we need to consider the notes at http://www.glowscript.org/docs/GlowScriptDocs/VPython-vs-GlowScript.html

One would think, for instance, that a sphere ought to take a radius argument of type float/int, but as things stand that wont work. One could add an argument 'size' of the appropriately scaled vector whenever one sees a brython sphere() with argument 'radius'?

I'd be willing to add a radius argument. How would one translate a radius to a size vector?

From the page it seems the size vectors x,y,z component are same as
diameter of sphere .. So in the sphere constructor we could add a size
vector
vec (2,2,2)*kwargs['radius']
whenever kwargs has radius arg but no size arg..
I could take a stab and send a pull request
