I have not yet created any Python scripts to do this because no one has made such a request. You do not need to recompile anything to create new models, just write a Python script. Whether a user wants to use the tool by creating a C++ program or Python script is their own choice. The documentation provided has detailed descriptions of the tools and Python examples showing basic use of the tools and also practical use of the tools. There are no fundamental limitations to the description of pins; on the project web page I can see at least 5 different pin geometries which were all created with the same 'pin' tool. - Cirilo
