Hey Tristan,
You mentioned in the prior Open Project Night that you were using a 3D CAD modeling software that used Python as a front end but was similar in design to OpenSCAD. I'm looking to do some 3D modeling for work -- what was the name of the software you were using?
Copying the Blabber in case other people are interested in using the software as well
Thanks,
Tayeb

CadQuery looks excellent!
there is also this extremely baby-mode easy-syntax library,
which I have used for a few 5-minute projects

I started looking at CadQuery immediately after it was mentioned a few
weeks ago (and I think I may have looked at it before), but I've
become stubborn and curmudgeony in my dotage, and I'll be damned if
I'm going to get Yet Another Package Manager. apt/dpkg, pip, snap,
flatpak, conda, etc. No. Just no. (I've already managed to screw up a
system where pip recognized a package that had been installed from a
.deb, and happily upgraded it, hosing a bunch of other Debian packages
which depended on it.)
I may try installing from source once I get a new computer...

Actually, I just tried it on a Pi with:
git clone g...@github.com:CadQuery/cadquery.git
cd cadquery
python3 setup.py install --user
and got no complaints...
git clone g...@github.com:CadQuery/cadquery.git
cd cadquery
python3 setup.py install --user
and got no complaints...

Onshape is the way to go...

Onshape has a built-in scripting language called FeatureScript you can use.

Counter point to the scripting question:
Cadquery has all of python. Just import scipy and pandas if you want.
It is a pain to get the editor installed though. Don't know why they make it so hard. It does run as a python module, and they have that whole jupyter notebook integration thing, though I haven't got that working yet.
I think it's in the AUR too if you swing that way.
