Jelle is (was?) also a crazy Rhino scripter and he will, I think, give you arguments (as well as benchmarks) that will definitely convince you to move from Rhino to pythonOCC if you expect an efficient scripting engine. > I tried unsuccessfully to get the wrappers built and installed on os x > and on debian; it seems like your build system is still very much in > flux.

A lot of issues have already been discussed here, and most of them were fixed. What is exactly the problem you have with the building system? I, and other people on the list, can affirm that pythonOCC on MacOSX and Debian *is* working: - Jelle Feringa packaged a binary version of both OpenCascade6.3.0 and pythonOCC-0.2 for MacOSX 10.5 Intel. Just go to the wiki page: http://www.pythonocc.org/wiki/index.php/InstallMacOSX . Are you using Tiger or a G4 based machine? - Under Linux, many successfull installations of OCC/pythonOCC were reported: OpenSuse (me), Ubuntu (Stephen, me), Fedora (Marco). Arthur Magill wrote an excellent wiki page about Linux Installation: http://www.pythonocc.org/wiki/index.php/Install_Linux I suggest you to not give up with OCC and pythonOCC installation stage. Although the build/install stage may be quite boring and require technical tweaks that you don't know, please report any problem: no doubt someone here will share with you the solution. Then a wide pythonic 3D CAD world will be opened, and you'll just have to explore it as you want! > Cheers, > Cheers, > Drew > Thomas _______________________________________________ Pythonocc-users mailing list Pythonocc-users@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/pythonocc-users
