So, I figured I'd detail some of the changes made to pybox2d a bit more in detail here. Here's the changes in r51:
* RayCasts working!
* Fixed some cvar confusion:
Since you can't do dir(box2d.cvar), I added a (mostly complete) list in box2d.cvars:
for c in box2d.cvars:
print c, getattr(box2d.cvar, c)
will show plenty of information:
