The python script generates an openscad module defining the polygon profile for a superegg, an object devised by Piet Hein. and other solids of revolution of superellipses whose shape is determined by p the exponent in the equation x^p + y^p = r^p)

run the Python script with parameters: radius p (the exponent in the equation x^p + y^p = r^p) roverh : the ratio of the semi-height to the radius

then use superegg.scad or such to render the object
