python-brlcad

Use brlcad from python based on ctypes bindings. These ctypes bindings are generated during install-time using ctypesgen.

installing

pip install -U brlcad

or

git clone git@github.com:kanzure/python-brlcad.git
cd python-brlcad/
export BRLCAD_PATH=/usr/brlcad
python setup.py install

installing on windows

Use either mingw or cygwin to provide gcc during installation. For details please consult the README_WIN.md file.

non-standard brlcad installation path

You can set the BRLCAD_HOME environment variable to the installation path of your brlcad distribution before running the setup.py script, and the brlcad libraries found there will be used. You could use this to install multiple versions of brl-cad, possibly using virtualenv to isolate the resulting python packages.
