A few years ago I wrote a python tiling library for 3D graphics called Tessagon (https://github.com/cwant/tessagon). It was designed for wrapping tiling patterns on 3D mathematical objects (but if it can do 3D, it can do 2D ...).
I've wanted to use it for some time in Inkscape, but I don't have the time or energy to write an extension. Luckily @pakin (Scott Pakin) wrote the "Simple Inkscape Scripting" extension (https://github.com/spakin/SimpInkScr), which allows one to easily write little scripts to do neat things.

Hi all (first post!),
A few years ago I wrote a python tiling library for 3D graphics called Tessagon (https://github.com/cwant/tessagon). It was designed for wrapping tiling patterns on 3D mathematical objects (but if it can do 3D, it can do 2D ...).
I've wanted to use it for some time in Inkscape, but I don't have the time or energy to write an extension. Luckily @pakin (Scott Pakin) wrote the "Simple Inkscape Scripting" extension (https://github.com/spakin/SimpInkScr), which allows one to easily write little scripts to do neat things.
If you're interested in such things and would like to give it a try, check out the demo script I wrote here: https://gist.github.com/cwant/697f0c6ce07d9e14e710f5b80ca5eece
