You will lucky to find something readymade for VPython.

This looks like it would be helpful for finding dome corrdinates,
which you can then use to plug-in to VPython:

And Kirby is probably an excellent source of information in the area
of the intersection of domes/Python/VPython. He knows a good deal
about each of these things.

I don't know whether he monitors this list. You might try posting to
(e-mail address removed) which I know he monitors, to see if he has
something to suggest.

I might have some other suggestions if a understood what you were
trying to accomplish, and why.

You might try the following link
for dome/windome software from Synergetics ....

http://www.applied-synergetics.com/ashp/html/windome_readme.html

This is a 6 frame animated GIF I put together back in 2001
using this software which shows full geodesic spheres
constructed from an icosahedron base ....

The sphere becomes more and more rounded
as the division frequency of the icosahedron
increases ....
