Knot-style Parametric Function Script ( Python )

Description

In My Ongoing Quest To Eliminate Or Supersede All Things Matlab, I Present A Functional Solution To The Problem Of Extruding Along Arbitrary Contours, Written In Python. This Is A Reaction To Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:7080, Itself A Derivative Of Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:6923. Credit To Both These Authors For The Concept And Motivation. Parameters Are Specified At The Top Of The Script. A Closed Curve In 3D Is Specified As F:T→(X,Y,Z) A Parametric Function Of T. A Closed Curve In 2D Is Specified As F:S→(X,Y) And Is Used As The Cross-Section To Extrude Along The 3D Curve. Bonus : If You Manually Specify The "Crosssection" Matrix, Which Is A Lost Of [X,Y] Points Around The Perimeter, You Can Extrude Arbitrary Cross-Sections. Download, Cut, Edit, Steal, Modify, Repost, Use, Go. Update : I Added Knot.Py, Which Simply Explicitly Defines The Knot Equations At The Top And Adds A Couple Integer Parameters, Similar Too Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:6923.
