pymadcad is the python module (a code library) allowing to perform CAD modeling in pure python.
It is meant to be easy, extensible, flexible and intuitive.
pymadcad contains all the functions and data definitions of uimadcad. All the code you write in the script view of the GUI is only a regular python script using pymadcad. And the file that the GUI is producing is just this python script in a text file, named a python file.
This means you don't need uimadcad to run it, you can just run your file with python.
The module uses Qt and OpenGL to display its graphics, and all the usual python scientific libraries for computations
pymadcad is still under development so all features might not work perfectly. If so, please report an issue.issues
