William, you are wrong
ITS possibile to call python from within openscad. This works for Modules
and functions
I will try to fix pyopenscad for Windows
Still i am Not at my Dev Environment

Subject: [OpenSCAD] The nature of Python in OpenSCAD and future
plans/features
First, my understanding of the current implementation:
- it requires a separate Python installation of a specific version, which
has a specific file: libpython3.10.dll as well as other similar files
- it operates on either Python or OpenSCAD files
- Python files do not make use of the Customizer
- it is not possible to call Python from w/in an OpenSCAD file
and that understanding makes my questions pretty obvious:
- can the Python aspect be made easier? Bundle a "minimum distribution"
of Python so that it "just works" once it is enabled by the user? Provide a
separate download of a specific Python distribution?
- make it possible for Python files to use the Customizer --- this would
be a big win --- if that's not possible, would it be possible for a Python
file to create a dialog window which would allow changing parameters and
re-running the file (or a portion of it?)
- the ability to have Python code in the OpenSCAD code which is also
called would be huge --- I'd just want the Python code to have access to
the current filename and to be able to pass it variables (and get them back)
