For future reference: As I understand a step file (e.g. example contains drawing directives like curves, points, lines etc.. These need to be converted to mesh (triangles). To write this by hand is quite an undertaking.
A python library like PythonOCC as you mentioned, would make it a lot easier. (It also seems possible to use FreeCad to convert a step file. )
How hard would it be to be able to slice directly from a Step File Master @NardJ ?
As discussed with @rsilvers129 this would be a awsome feature that not even the payed slicers have

UPDATE: as per rsilvers and nard replyes makes more sense to support AMF format instead
