In order to get a grip on this stuff i ripped out what i thought was not important from
add_mesh_torus.py located in .blender\scripts\op in order to get a basic
GUI going on.

perhaps some brighter mind can point me to a tutorial on the GUI side,
i’m constructing the rest of the script now, some tips would be appreciated
