This software named Blender 3D come with python version 3.7.4 .
The version of this 3D tool is 2.82a .
This is a default addon with these python files: __init__.py , build.py, catafest_addon_start.py.
You can see a folder and images, but is not part of these tutorial.
The full source code of this addon can be found on my GitHub account on this project.
First python file named build.py will create the addon using this command:
python .\build.py#!/usr/bin/env python
from os.path import abspath, dirname, join as pjoin
import zipfile
SRC_DIR = dirname(abspath(__file__))
with zipfile.ZipFile('catafest_addon_start.zip', 'w', zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED) as arch:

'__init__.py',
'catafest_addon_start.py',
'textures/texture_001.png']:
arch.write(pjoin(SRC_DIR, filename), 'add_mesh_catafest_blender_start/'+filename)

This script will not create the mesh, but will show you how can be used, see generate_mesh.
You can change this generate_mesh to do your tasks.

# This is a Blender script that uses procedural generation to create
# a catafest 3D mesh from a random seed. Tested with Blender 2.77a.
