> I definitely like the idea of adding this to core. @gumyr would you be willing to contribute your code that was mostly finished? I guess the main question is...

I cannot reproduce (though I have no Mac) - can you provide more info on your versions and possible a backtrace?

Take a look here: https://github.com/CadQuery/CQ-editor/releases/tag/0.1RC1 as far as I checked pyinstaller worked fine.

If you don't call show_object on an object it will be not shown. Why would you need a separate hide_object call?

You can always use `del`. I'll wait for a clarification from the OP.

Code execution is blocking and I don't think this will change anytime soon. Out of curiosity: what is the use case that you have? Similar feature request here: https://github.com/CadQuery/CQ-editor/issues/60

OK could you paste what `conda info` and `conda list` gives (before and after)?

I don't think that it is implemented. The best would be to follow the approach of `makeHelix`. You could also try `cq.Workplane.parametricCurve` but you'd need to know the parametric equations...

I think OCCT allows this, but it is not exposed [in CQ]. @Jojain https://dev.opencascade.org/doc/refman/html/class_b_rep_offset_a_p_i___make_pipe_shell.html suggests that the profile wire does not need to be closed.

@yarikoptic what would you find more useful - mypy warnings or dynamic type checking?
