This is the first time I write Python code, so it might be bad. Indeed, for the sake of this assignment, I tried my best to translate some Visual Basic (Windows only) code I wrote during the first lockdown into Python (platform agnostic). Therefore, it may not be the most optimal code.
This program computes a straight stair based on the Blondel formula (2R + T = 61). (I am both an Architecture and a GC student. Believe me or not, this little piece of code is a time saver when I am a bit charrette).
First, download the Blondel_Calculator.py file.
- If you don't have it, install python
- Right click on
Blondel_Calculator.pyand click "Open with > Python 3.9" (I guess 3.7 is fine too)
- I don't have a Mac, but this page might help
Here are some inputs (in italic) you can try.
| Height (cm) | Width (cm) | Blondel formula | Tread (cm) | Riser (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 250 | 370 | 57,33 | 24 | 16,67 |
| 250 | 450 | 61 | 27,67 | 16,67 |
| 58 | 100 | 71,67 | 33 | 19,33 |

I made this program because I was tired of going to Calculis · Escalier for this basic task and wanted a local alternative.
