3d Tube from points

Today I have more time!

@zeffii saw your blender post, curve from points. How do i make it a tube?

This is a tube without thickness.

	import bpy
	from mathutils import Vector
	# weight
	w = 1
	# we don't have to use the Vector() notation.
	listOfVectors = [(0,0,0),(1,0,0),(2,0,0),(2,3,0),(0,2,1)]
	def MakePolyLine(objname, curvename, cList):
	curvedata = bpy.data.curves.new(name=curvename, type='CURVE')
	curvedata.dimensions = '3D'
	objectdata = bpy.data.objects.new(objname, curvedata)
	objectdata.location = (0,0,0) #object origin
	bpy.context.scene.objects.link(objectdata)
	polyline = curvedata.splines.new('NURBS')
	polyline.points.add(len(cList)-1)
	for num in range(len(cList)):
	polyline.points[num].co = (cList[num])+(w,)
	polyline.order_u = len(polyline.points)-1
	polyline.use_endpoint_u = True
	MakePolyLine("NameOfMyCurveObject", "NameOfMyCurve", listOfVectors)
	obj = bpy.data.objects['NameOfMyCurveObject']
	obj.data.fill_mode = 'FULL'
	obj.data.bevel_depth = 0.1
	obj.data.bevel_resolution = 15

To get thickness you might add a solidify modifier. Throw these two lines onto the end.

	solidify = obj.modifiers.new(type='SOLIDIFY', name="make_solid")
	solidify.thickness = -0.02
