Today I tried vscode for writing python code and generating openSCAD files and it is much simpler to install and use. here is the link to a small video. https://github.com/sprabhakar2006/openSCAD/blob/main/videos/vcsforpython.mov

Hi Sanjeev, my openscad fork is not more difficult to install than the original ones. It's also as easy as running the windows installer. One advantage of my fork against other openscad python-wrappers is: As python is sitting right inside openscad, Scenarios like altering point data become possible like that c=complicated_solid(); pts,tris = c.mesh() # alter pts ... new_solid = polyhedron(pts, tris) This is definitely not possible with any external python openscad wrapper solution ... cheers ...

Hi Guenther, Does it work on macbook air? I think , I looked at it sometime ago, but was not very clear on how to install it. Also, how to use my python library after installation is another point, I wanted to understand. So I was just waiting for your official version to be released as I understand this is in process.

I've been trying to build it on my MacBook Air, but haven't succeeded yet.

The problem is that some of the needed libraries conflict with the native MacOS ones, and I need to sort out how to point to the right versions.

So till the time you resolve all the issues, you can try vs code. I found it to be much simpler .

Sanjeev, I won't be able to resolve the issues with the MacOS build, Unfortunately I dont own any mac and it doesn't look yet like somebody would sponsor me one for the purpose of create MacOS builds But I have found that there is some instructions how to compile for MacOS at https://github.com/openscad/openscad/blob/master/README.md#building-for-macos Anybody who is interested to test something new will get full support from my side ...

I have read that, but I'm still getting errors. Right now, it's having trouble finding the right QT libraries.
