Ryven VS PyFlow

There are general visual programming tools for python like ryven or PyFlow that should be able to run generic code, so in theory you can put SimuPy code in the blocks.

"What does an algorithm look like?"

I'm an intensely visual person, but have never found a visual programming system which scales well --- the problem is, past a certain level of complexity one has to use modules, which then devolves the visual representation down to just a bunch named blocks.

That said, I'm using BlockSCAD:

https://www.blockscad3d.com/community/projects/1421975

to work up designs which I'm then putting into other tools.

Looking at GraphSCAD:

and there's also Ryven and pythonocc which I managed to get installed:

https://ryven.org

https://github.com/Tanneguydv/Pythonocc-nodes-for-Ryven

but I'd really like to see a tool for this sort of thing which made G-code.

Why this over https://ryven.org/ ?

Interesting, came across https://ryven.org/ recently which looks in the same domain.

Any practical use cases of either being used?

Huge fan of NodeRED, always thought the paradigm could be leveraged for other heavy workflow applications

I'm developing Ryven (https://ryven.org), a python-based visual nodes editor/platform. I recently published a tiny prototype plugin for Ryven 3.1 inside Blender (https://github.com/leon-thomm/ryven-blender). As Ryven is Python-based and quite easy to use, and Blender already had success with an integrated nodes editor, I would like to find out whether based on Blender's Python API it'd be possible to develop a large, powerful, compatible, and easily extensible framework of nodes for Blender that run on Ryven.

This seems very similar to https://ryven.org/

What do you think of the https://ryven.org/ node programming framework? Are there any that I can compare it with?

PyFlow perhaps?

Haven't found any projects (PyFlow seems nice but seems to not be actively maintained, and since it's a long term project picking that up feels too risky). Anyone has some cool ideas?

PyFlow – Visual scripting framework for Python – NodeRED alternative?\ (5 comments)

If he’s more just after visual programming rather than modelling dynamical systems, I believe PyFlow is the main option nowadays (although it hasn’t been updated in a while now).
