Now that we have a simulator for testing, we will be rewriting the Vicon plugin to support both marker and body data. This will be available in the next release.

Thanks a lot, this has been helpful for tracking the markers. We are, however, having a problem tracking bodies still. The vicon.getBodyList() works correctly, however when I try to use the vicon.getBody(val) function, I receive the error "_ViconExtension object has no attribute getBody". This occurs with the sample program in the help file, shown below. The IP address was changed to the correct one.

vicon = viz.add('vicon.dle',0,'192.168.0.114')
body = vicon.getBody(0)
marker = vicon.getMarker(0)

print body.getName()
print marker.getName()

Since the bodies are accessible from the getBodyList() function I tried linking a box to the body, but it didn't work either. Any suggestions?
