+SolidPython is a generalization of Phillip Tiefenbacher's openscad
+module, found on Thingiverse. It generates valid OpenSCAD code from
+Python code with minimal overhead.
+
+Advantages Because you're using Python, a lot of things are easy that
+would be hard or impossible in pure OpenSCAD. Among these are:
+
+built-in dictionary types
+mutable, slice-able list and string types
+recursion
+external libraries (images! 3D geometry! web-scraping! ...)
