python-solvespace

Python library from the solver of SolveSpace, an open source CAD software.

• Python API
• C API

The example extracted from unit test:

from python_solvespace import SolverSystem, ResultFlag

sys = SolverSystem()
wp = sys.create_2d_base()  # Workplane (Entity)
p0 = sys.add_point_2d(0, 0, wp)  # Entity
sys.dragged(p0, wp)  # Make a constraint with the entity
...
line0 = sys.add_line_2d(p0, p1, wp)  # Create entity with others
...
line1 = sys.add_line_2d(p0, p3, wp)
sys.angle(line0, line1, 45, wp)  # Constrain two entities
if sys.solve() == ResultFlag.OKAY:
   # Get the result (unpack from the entity or parameters)
   # x and y are actually float type
   dof = sys.dof()
   x, y = sys.params(p2.params)
   ...
else:
   # Error!
   # Get the list of all constraints
   failures = sys.failures()
   ...

Solver can also be serialized and copied.

import pickle
print(pickle.dumps(sys))

sys_new = sys.copy()
# equivalent to
func, args = sys.__reduce__()
sys_new = func(*args)
