Hi, I've created python library to generate OpenSCAD source intuitively. Of course you can use python language powerful functions to generate your OpenSCAD code. Feature - Intuitive operations - Supporting both python2 and python3 - Supporting modifiers as well Install: pip install openpyscad Example: import openpyscad as ops c1 = ops.Cube([10, 20, 10]) c2 = ops.Cube([20, 10, 10]) (c1 + c2).write("sample.scad") # will generate "ssample.scad" file with OpenSCAD codes Repo: https://github.com/taxpon/openpyscad. Cheers :), # Takuro Wada taxpon@gmail.com

It looks very interesting and congratulations on having a go. There is an existing codebase doing something similar called Solidpython. - https://github.com/SolidCode/SolidPython By similar, I mean it also produces OpenSCAD code. You might consider how your two styles differ and what might be the most interesting way to proceed. All the best...

There are multiple projects that do this, the most popular is SolidPython, https://github.com/SolidCode/SolidPython How does your project compare to SolidPython, what are the benefits/advantages?

FWIW, I've been trying to collect such tools as a listing here: http://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/index.php/Programmatic_G-Code_Generators --- corrections, improvements and additional tools to list would be welcome (added openpyscad).

...and https://github.com/SquirrelCZE/pycad/ ...and https://github.com/vishnubob/pyscad ...and https://github.com/bjbsquared/SolidPy ...and https://github.com/acrobotic/py2scad ...and https://github.com/TheZoq2/py-scad ...and https://github.com/defnull/pyscad The project death rate seems to reach about 90% after one year though. I think for some use cases (like maybe reading data from a database or something) this is quite a useful approach. It would be nice to see some more collaboration, crossing fingers for the new project now... ciao, Torsten.
