SuPy 1.4 Available

Changes in this version:

- Python tuples are converted to Ruby arrays, so you can pass them
directly to Sketchup methods that require an array.

- 'Array' function for converting other Python sequences to arrays.

- X_AXIS, Y_AXIS, Z_AXIS constants.

- Unit conversion constants (feet, yard, etc.) e.g. 5 * feet


What is SuPy?

I tried it on 32bit Vista a few days ago. Nice work! Everything worked
fine, as expected, so far. Next, as an exercise, I tried to translate
the "stairs.rb" example, but was stuck, when trying to translate the
statement v2 = p3 - p1. As it seems, a Point3d object doesn't have a
__sub__ method.

So my question is: how are special methods translated? What is the
equivalent of p1.__sub__(p2)?

Alas, introspection didn't help, Py.dir(p3) just kills Sketup, throwing
an crash report: "Google SketchUp has encountered an error and needs to
close" ...

The non standard "View Report Details..." Button doesn't work, I guess
it is disabled, so I can't present any detailed information, here.
