Hey thanks @Moult. I hadn’t built PythonOCC master for a while, seems that version is not officially released yet [Releases · tpaviot/pythonocc-core · GitHub](https://github.com/tpaviot/pythonocc-core/releases)

> Do you have any intention on updating it to the latest PythonOCC version?

Sure. Backwards compatibility of these changes seems like it’s going to be a bit painful, but I’ll need that for a while. Pull Request very welcome!
