How would one include external libraries?

[dneise]

Hey there!
I've not yet started with openScad, but am still looking around and found your awesome project.

I found that openScad supports external libraries, like e.g. these chamfered primitives https://github.com/SebiTimeWaster/Chamfers-for-OpenSCAD

In oder to use them in the openScad lang one needs to include <Chamfers-for-OpenSCAD/Chamfer.scad>;. Now I wonder how and if this translates to Python?

For sure, we cannot simply do:

from Chamfers-for-OpenSCAD import Chamfer

Chamfer.chamferCube(...)

Have a great day and thanks a lot!

Furthermore solidpython has a relative new feature which even supports from chamfer_lib import Chamfer checkout

But I would suggest to take look at the built in bosl2 library first. It includes a whole lot of stuff (and is built in and the bosl2 support is pretty good I think).

Thanks so much! I think we can close this
