RE: [Visualpython-users] openCASCADE

[Kuzminski, S. R <SKu...@fa...>]

I suppose they are very different pieces of software and one of the nice
things about vpython is how focused it is.  I'm wishing that I could
build more complex shapes, especially with Boolean shape operations,
assemble them into mechanisms and have them simulated in a 'real'
environment.  This is probably out of the scope of vpython.

Has anyone looked into bringing the OpenCASCADE python bindings into
vpython?

To what end ?

Don't OpenCASCADE and VPython have very different purposes and scopes.

I tend to see the "smallness" and focus of VPython as one of its main
strengths. =20

And if one wants to work with something broad and large, what does
VPython bring to OpenCascade that isn't already there?  The question's
intention being more than rhetorical, as I don't know anything about
OpenCascade beyond what I see on the web site.
