Hello GF’ers!
This box maker has been mentioned before in the forums - https://www.festi.info/boxes.py/. It has a lot of interesting applications. I tried to make a box on the website, but I could not see how you could download a file. It generated a nice graphic but that is all I could do. I think the site is perhaps just for demo purposes. In reading more about it, the documentation suggests that it can be set up as an inkscape plug in. I get that (or at least I think I do) the .py files (which there seems to be a lot of them listed in the documentation) need to be placed in the inkscape extension file. What I can’t figure out is how to generate the needed .inx file. The github documentation suggests that setup.py needs to be run and it will generate the .inx files. This is what I can’t figure out - 1 do I have (any of) this part right and 2 if this is right, how do you execute setup.py and do all the py files need to be added to the extension file. I can’t see how to download setup.py as an executable file. Can one of the masters with Python/Computer fu help out? I appreciate any insight anyone can offer. -MakerMatthew
