It is now possible to run the vpython module from IDLE. VPython 7 detects that you're not running in a Jupyter notebook and sets up its own communication with the browser, and in some cases this communication seems faster than Jupyter's. However, I don't know whether it would make a difference in your case. VIDLE (or IDLE) can't output 3D animations.
I'll advertise that a better place to pose VPython questions is in the VPython forum at
