resize auto=true doesn't seem to work

[nerdfever]

When I try to use the auto=true parameter on the OpenSCAD resize function, I get:

NameError: name 'true' is not defined

Python 3.4 output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

    label = resize([innerRadius * 2 * insideTextRatio, 0, textDepth*more], auto=true)(label)
NameError: name 'true' is not defined

I love SolidPython - many thanks to everyone who worked on it!

true is not defined in Python, but True is. Bites me all the time when I go back and forth with other languages

Unfortunately that (True vs true) doesn't seem to help. It just changes the error to:

TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'auto'

You're totally right, this is a bug. Sorry I was too quick on the close button. Fix forthcoming

Dave, if you're running the PyPI release this won't solve your problem, but if you clone the repo, pip uninstall solidpython and pip install -e <$PATH_TO/SolidPython> that should fix things up. Thanks for catching this.

[nerdfever]

That fixed it.

I saw you changed object.py; I tried replacing just that file in site-packages/solid, but it didn't help. (Not sure why.)

But this worked:

python -m pip uninstall solidpython python -m pip install -e <$PATH_TO/SolidPython>.

Thanks!!

Related issue (unsupported parameter):

#    result = color([0,0,0], a=0.5)(result)
    result = color([0,0,0, 0.5])(result)
#    result = color("black", 0.5)(result)

Only the uncommented form works. The other two commented-out forms are supposed to work as well, per the OpenSCAD docs. But both generate complaints about unsupported/extra parameters.
