Its true that the Shape Healing kit uses pretty non-standard operators somewhere in the code, so its not unthinkable that there perhaps are a few hickups there. Which version of pythonocc are you on? Recently there have been advantages ( in the SVN version ) that deal with these shortcomings. Are you on a recent build of pyocc? If so, would you mind typing svn info?

Well, I've written tons of pyocc code, and as in any other software projects there surely are some minor hickups, but there is no doubt that pythonocc is industrial strength. To suggest that there are hundreds of workarounds is neither fair nor accurate. Patches are so much more appreciated than massively overstated critique ;) Are you part of the Freecad project Bjorn, as your email suggests?
