Splipy is a pure Python library for the creation, evaluation and manipulation of B-spline and NURBS geometries. It supports n-variate splines of any dimension, but emphasis is placed on the use of curves, surfaces and volumes. The library is designed primarily for analysis use, and therefore allows fine-grained control over many aspects which cannot be achieved with conventional CAD tools. It is packaged and distributed through Python Package Index: PyPi which gives easy installation.
