I don’t know if you already know this, but you can import Grasshopper modules into Python.. The only thing is that both Grasshopper and the GHPython plug-in for Grasshopper have to be installed, and currently, the component you want to import into Python has to have been run at least once in Grasshopper. Since V6 should have Grasshopper integrated, hopefully this limitation will be gone by then. Here is Steve’s blogpost on the subject.
