Does anyone here know if I can install SolidPython on windows (and if so, how?!)  I'd like to generate dome Openscad code with it.I downloaded the zip file from the github page and when I unzipped and clicked on setup.py...a console window appeared and then quickly disappeared.

You have two options:

  1. Drop to a command line, and simply type in "python"... see what happens.
    You may get any one of several messages to the effect that some thing is not
    found and/or is missing.

Then, exit from python, change to the folder where your setup.py is, and
type in "python setup.py"... this time, the window won't just disappear.

or...
2) search your Python installation and find the program "Idle.bat". It
should be in ... \python\Lib\idlelib
Idle (a GUI interface) will open in a new window.. you can then open
setup.py and select run on it.
