CQ-editor: (1) print(..., flush=True) NO OUTPUT, (2) makeThreePointArc(...) invalid decimal literal;
Steve Petrie
Greeting To CadQuery Mailing List,
While running a python CQ script using CQ-editor Render:
(1) output from python print(..., flush=True) statements appears neither in the CQ-editor Log viewer window nor in the command shell window, and
(2) a makeThreePointArc(...) method call produces an inexplicable invalid deimal literal error.

See attachment bwy_ 3.1 test makeTangentArc.py
This python script bwy_ 3.1 test makeTangentArc.py is a small one I am using to analyze use of two CQ arc creation methods:
cq.Edge.makeThreePointArc(v1, v2, v2)
cq.Edge.makeTangentArc(v1, v2, v3)
My purpose here is to use these two arc forms in combination with:
cq.Edge.makeLine(v1, v2)
to ultimately generate a 3D CQ solid for a shaped concrete slab. being the actual track on which bicycle wheels will roll along, while traveling on an Elevated Bicycle Expressway (bikeway).
I have already used CQ-editor to complete the design of the structure that will support the track slab above a motor roadway.
See attachment bwy_BikewayLoXEndSection.png a screenshot of a CQ-editor window with this bikeway supporting structure Rendered.

I have already tried using an export PYTHONUNBUFFERED=True in the command shell, before starting CQ-editor with run.,sh
I attach screenshots of both the CQ-editor window and the command shell window, after CQ-editor has loaded and started to Render the script 3.1 test makeTangentArc.py

command shell window: Screenshot from 2025-12-31 20-40-07.png
CQ-editor has terminated script execution, on an error later in the script, after print(..., flush=True) statements have executed. But no print output appears in either the CQ-editor Log viewer window or the command shell window.

The error SyntxError: invalid decimal literal (<cq_editor string>, line 17) reported by CQ-editor also puzzles me, because I can see no reason why the vectors: v1_3pa, v2_3pa,-or v2_3pa should be problematic.

Running CQ-editor 0.6.dev0 on a PC with Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) with Gnome desktop on linux kernel 6.1.0-29-amd64
I chose this CQ-editor version because I prefer to avoid the complexities of conda or pip
