Python 3D CAD -- need collaborators, or just brave souls :)

[Josh Dukes]

What kind of cad are you focused on? Mechanical cad, architecutal cad,
or something else? If you're interested there have been some
experiments with blender
http://projects.blender.org/projects/blendercad/
http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=65559

Unfortunately I don't think anything ever came out of those. There's also a 2d cad called pythoncad, 
http://www.pythoncad.org/
There's also Salome, which seems to have a python interface. Basically though, there isn't anything good right now but I'd love to see this.
