# Python scripts
These are located in the `scripts` subdirectory, which needs to be added to the program search path.

They should work with both Python 2 and Python 3.

| Script  | Function  |
|:---|:---|
| `bom.py` | Generates BOM files for the project. |
| `c14n_stl.py` | OpenSCAD produces randomly ordered STL files. This script re-orders them consistently so that GIT can tell if they have changed or not. |
| `doc_scripts.py` | Makes this document and doc/usage.md. |
| `dxfs.py` | Generates DXF files for all the routed parts listed on the BOM or a specified list. |
| `gallery.py` | Finds projects and adds them to the gallery. |
| `make_all.py` | Generates all the files for a project by running `bom.py`, `stls.py`, `dxfs.py`, `render.py` and `views.py`. |
| `openscad.py` | Run `openscad.exe` and capture `stdout` and `stderr` in `openscad.log` as well as printing to the console. |
| `panels.py` | Panelises DXF files so they can be routed together by running scad files found in the `panels` directory. |
| `platters.py` | Generates build plates of STL files for efficient printing by running scad files found in the `platters` directory. |
| `render.py` | Renders STL and DXF files to PNG for inclusion in the build instructions. |
| `set_config.py` | Sets the target configuration for multi-target projects that have variable configurations. |
| `stls.py` | Generates STL files for all the printed parts listed on the BOM or a specified list. |
| `svgs.py` | Generates SVG files for all the routed parts listed on the BOM or a specified list. |
| `tests.py` | Runs all the tests in the tests directory and makes the readme file with a catalog of the results. |
| `views.py` | Generates exploded and unexploded assembly views and scrapes build instructions to make readme.md, readme.html and printme.html files for the project. |
