Python for openSCAD
I have made another video to show how 2 waves can be used to produce shapes
or knots.
Although this is made in python but can be easily done in openscad as well
https://github.com/sprabhakar2006/openSCAD/blob/main/videos/2waves_to_create_shapes.mov
If it can be don in OpenSCAD, why not show that also? This is an
OpenSCAD list, not a Python list.

Perhaps OP hasn't programmed that yet?
I guess we could view implementing this in OpenSCAD as "an exercise left for the reader"?
That said, there has been a lot of effort to integrate Python with OpenSCAD in the past, and I for one think it's flat-out amazing what Guenther has achieved, and I look forward to all that potential interest creating a lot more things such as Sanjeev has shown in his nifty video, and not just because it was an absolute sea change in my own project:
https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview
making it possible to write out G-code and DXF files so that OpenSCAD can be fully integrated with other CAD/CAM tools.
Of potential interest there is that I worked up a technique where:
- a Python file was added to a project via use - an OpenSCAD file then wrapped the Python commands in OpenSCAD code via use - an OpenSCAD file then wrapped the OpenSCAD commands in OpenSCAD code while using branching based on variables via include
This gave me the best of all possible worlds:
- an OpenSCAD project which was simple/compatible enough for me to make use of it via OpenSCAD Graph Editor - a Python back-end which could be used for "real" variables and to write out files (a feature which I have been asking after for a long time)
and most importantly, a tool which gave me the same excitement I had upon first using TeX on my NeXT Cube --- a tool which could do anything and which had as its only limits computer processing speed/storage (or my patience) and human ingenuity.
Most recent public update is at:
https://forum.makerforums.info/t/rewriting-gcodepreview-with-python/88617/4
for folks who want to see half of a joint --- next up is a test cut, then the horizontal versions.
I'm looking forward to what more talented folks will do with this, and ask that folks who are only interested in "pure" OpenSCAD just exercise a bit of forbearance (and the "delete message" function in their e-mail reader, or some sort of filter?) so as to share this space with folks who are interested in the possibilities of Python and OpenSCAD.

William:
I am pleased and excited about what you have been able to achieve,
perhaps with the necessary assistance of people like Guenther. I see
what you are doing as very different than generating geometry, which can
be done in pure OpenSCAD (with libraries) for the most part.
It will be interesting to see exactly what geometry generation can be
done more easily or more rapidly with the Python assist.

I have tried Guenther's python integration for macbook earlier but somehow
was not successful. Maybe if there is any improvement in the last 1 month,
I will try again.
I have seen your work and it looks promising.
Please keep it up!

Sanjeev, the DMG file was created on an old Mac whereas yours has recent
x86 architecture. This might be the reason why it did not start up in your
Mac. If someone volunteers to compile it on a recent Mac of course I can
help out with debugging compilation issues...

Surely you mean that it was created on x86 as opposed to the newer Apple
Silicon. But Apple provides a translator, so it ought to run.

Hi Guenther
William has sent me visual steps to implement your software.
Will try tonight again and will let you know in case it doesn't work, also
will share if it works.
Thanks for your effort

I did have one further thought here --- if you have an M1 (or 2 or 3) ARM CPU, then if you haven't, see if installing "Rosetta" which is what they are calling their Intel-ARM compatibility layer (because of course, no one uses a Newton anymore).

I have installed Rosetta2 , still it doesnt work and there is a long error

I have macbook air m1
