Is it possible to create a script that would automagically resize an object or vertices to the ratio of 1 : 1.6180339887… or a very near approximation? Could such a script also be integrated into the spin and screw functions? Could someone coach me into creating such a script? I’m a total newbie with py and I’m still crawling up blenders learning curve but this is really something I need for my work.
is there a reason you can’t scale to that value?
and if necescary apply the rotation/scaling (control+a)
Actually, that is what i am doing now on a small scale 
but I thought a script would be more accurate/quicker and extend the functionality into all aspects of blender- Dupliverts, spin, screw etc.
