Hi Marco,
Have you looked at the info and repository at vectorsection.org?
Unfortunately I've been rather swamped with another project lately, but
there is already a start on some pythoncad conversion (both to and from
the rzp hub) code. If you have questions, please ping me (and don't
get discouraged if I forget to answer, just nag me :-)
The dxf code is just dxf2rzp and is in Perl for now. I would entertain
doing it in Python if you could implement a full conversion but
ultimately I want at least parts of it in C for speed. I had also done
some work with Inline::Python and Art's library, so I could entertain
the idea of furthering that pursuit as well. The way I see it, there's
a lot of thankless work to be done and I'll take any help I can get :-D
The perl installer is fairly decent when I left off. The python
installer could use some work. (Preferably, somehow integrating into
the perl Build system.)
