About

pythonocc is a python library whose purpose is to provide 3D modeling features. It is intended to developers who aim at developing CAD/PDM/PLM applications.

Latest release : pythonocc-core 0.18.1 (december 2017)

Download/install binaries

pythonocc provides precompiled conda packages (they depend on third part libraries made available from the dlr-sc and conda-forge conda channels) for python 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6. This will get you up and running in minutes whether you run win32/win64/linux64/osx64. Here is an example for python 3.5:

# install pythonocc in an environment named `pyocc` with python 3.5;
conda install -c conda-forge -c dlr-sc -c pythonocc -c oce pythonocc-core==0.18.1 python=3.5

Just replace "3.5" with "2.7" or "3.6" in the previous command to fit with your prefered python version.

Download pre-releases/development binaries

oce and pythonocc

The basis of pythonocc is python wrapper for the [oce C++ library / CAD kernel] (https://github.com/tpaviot/oce), aka pythonocc-core. pythonocc-core version number correspond to oce library releases its wrapping.

For example; the current pythonocc-core release, 0.18, requires any of the OCE 0.18.x releases. Here, the Major version name of either OCE or pythonocc-core release is 0, the Minor version is 17 and the Patch version is (optionally) x. pythonocc-core can be built with any OCE version that has a corresponding Major and Minor version number. For example, pythonocc-core 0.18.1 can be built with OCE-0.18.1.
