I am just starting with PythonSCAD. Going through the brief tutorial,
when I try "Signed distance Functions within OpenSCAD" in the "New
Functions in pythonscad" section, I get a ModuleNotFound error for
pylibfive.

I can see pylibfive.py in the appimage at:

/<path-to-appimage-mount-point>/usr/share/pythonscad/libraries/python/pylibfive.py

although that directory is not listed when I do a print(sys.path):

['/tmp/.mount_Pythonh9foel/usr/lib/python3.12',
'/home/dylan/.local/share/OpenSCAD/libraries', '/home/dylan',
'/usr/lib64/python312.zip', '/usr/lib64/python3.12',
'/usr/lib64/python3.12/lib-dynload',
'/usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages',
'/usr/lib64/python3.12/site-packages',
'/usr/lib64/python3.12/_import_failed', '/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages']

pip does not find a pylibfive package to install globally, although
there is a libfive package which fails install and a libfivepy package
which PythonSCAD cannot cind, even though iy is placed in a directory in
sys.path.

What am I Missing here?

Thanks

Dylan

Mac or Linux?

Which PythonSCAD binary did you install? Only a couple of them have this enabled.

Or did you compile yourself?
