I am pretty excited because I just turned on python serialization for the BuildBee MakeCode pxt

So far it seems to be working well. It gets a little weird for my blocks that take a function though

Any suggestions how to clean this up? When I do typescript it has the ability to use lambda expressions, so the code looks tidier

Python’s lambda expressions aren’t as good cause braces don’t exist, so you are kinda stuck with nested functions. Also I believe the lambda statement doesn’t work in PXT at all currently.

When one writes out Python from [makecode.buildbee.com](http://makecode.buildbee.com) what does one do w/ it?

Is it compatible w/ PythonOCC or one of the other Python code 3D modeling tools?

Will you work up a module which can be imported, so that when the Python code is run one gets a .stl of the 3D model created?
