CadQuery is an intuitive, easy-to-use Python module for building parametric 3D CAD models. At present, the underlying CAD kernel for CadQuery is OpenCascade. Multiple CAD kernels supporting was considered in the initial design of CadQuery. However, the open source CAD kernel is rare. To experiment with adaptation to other CAD kernels, We've created a minimal CadQuery. IMO, another kernel may benefit the development of CadQuery.

To make the adaption, we firstly need to create a Python binding for truck. I wonder whether somebody has done the Python binding thing?

On top of the above mentioned Python binding, truck should support the following CAD types:
Vertex
Edge
Wire
Face
Shell
Solid
CompSolid
Compound

A STEP exporting function should be there for output.

I'd like to see that the CadQuery could work with truck, and I'd like to make this happen, even if only a simplest prototype at the first beginning.
