Split function works manually, but not when using Python

[vm18530]

I used the following code to create two swept splines and intend to split them, to later join the non-intersecting parts (basically a union of the fibres, but rs.BooleanUnion wouldn’t work):
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import scriptcontext as sc
import Rhino

Coordinates = [14.00954,12.9616]
iterated_control_points = [[14.00954,12.9616,0.0],[12.727702656374271,12.811948462590294,15.0],[13.954743063948921,12.717241605623197,30.0],[14.085457287625891,12.891559644787602,45.0],[15.241599363480855,16.36794801887896,60.0],[42.07469896146351,9.482372809298749,75.0],[14.016422380934365,12.956748890873245,90.0],[13.974544875161156,12.987854523125703,105.0],[14.026827387519548,12.977572311202493,120.0],[15.291377343625728,13.111251537409705,135.0],[14.00954,12.9616,150.0]]
Coordinates2 = [9.198875000000001,14.64045]
iterated_control_points2 = [[9.198875000000001,14.64045,0.0],[8.698409066719025,14.798757469059224,15.0],[9.205489597698683,14.647949806483156,30.0],[9.149866823024054,14.630540479855526,45.0],[8.91344351555919,14.170312926701754,60.0],[9.195232856706747,14.630225059981237,75.0],[9.162454668904807,14.656664943432233,90.0],[9.646774298539965,14.743459621166169,105.0],[7.005891767396355,13.982028311870852,120.0],[9.699340933280975,14.482142530940775,135.0],[9.198875000000001,14.64045,150.0]]
shape1 = rs.AddCircle([Coordinates[0],Coordinates[1]],Radius)
shape2 = rs.AddCircle([Coordinates2[0],Coordinates2[1]],Radius)
rail1 = rs.AddCurve(iterated_control_points)
rail2 = rs.AddCurve(iterated_control_points2)
Fibre1 = rs.AddSweep1(rail1,[shape1])
Fibre2 = rs.AddSweep1(rail2,[shape2])
split = rs.SplitBrep(Fibre1,Fibre2)

This sets the geometry out fine, but the split fails. However, if I perform the exact same split manually, it works fine. How can I change the script so that the split performs correctly - as is the case with the manual operation? Below are images of the fibres:

The results of the successful split:

Hello - AddSweep returns a list, so you need to feed an item from that list, not the entire list, to Split. Split takes the single objects.

Fibre1 = rs.AddSweep1(rail1,[shape1]) <<<< this returns a list, not a single object.
Fibre2 = rs.AddSweep1(rail2,[shape2])<<<< this returns a list, not a single object.
split = rs.SplitBrep(Fibre1,Fibre2)

try this:

Fibre1 = rs.AddSweep1(rail1,[shape1])[0]
Fibre2 = rs.AddSweep1(rail2,[shape2])[0]
split = rs.SplitBrep(Fibre1,Fibre2)

Hi Pascal, thanks for your reply.

I have tried your suggestion, but am getting the same result. The split through python just returns the two pictured surfaces and a nonetype object:

Whereas, splitting manually gives these two surfaces, plus the desired surface I’m looking for:

Sorry if I didn’t clarify that very well in the original post, hope this helps.
