The wrapper allows to call resetTrackers in the main module after the callback to the GuiTools is executed. This is the last commit, many thanks to @matthijskooijman for having menthored me :) I think it's helpful to have @matthijskooijman explanation on this use of the wrapper: This defines a new wrapper function, that calls the original callback and then calls resetTrackers. Note that this creates a new function for every loop iteration, so each of these wrapper functions captures potentially different callback, self and obj values so things work as expected. Note I did something weird with the callback value there: Since functions like these capture a variable, not its value at the time of function definition, and loop variables like label and callback are a single variable shared between all loop iterations, capturing callback directly ends up with all wrappers calling the last callback (i.e. they all capture the same variable and by the time the wrappers are called, that variable will contain the last of the callbacks). This is commonly solved by using a default value in the function definition, since such a default value uses the value of the (in this case) callback variable, not capturing the variable.

Overview
-
Freedom to build what you want FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history to change its parameters.
-
Create 3D from 2D and back FreeCAD lets you to sketch geometry constrained 2D shapes and use them as a base to build other objects. It contains many components to adjust dimensions or extract design details from 3D models to create high quality production-ready drawings.
-
Designed for your needs FreeCAD is designed to fit a wide range of uses including product design, mechanical engineering and architecture, whether you are a hobbyist, programmer, experienced CAD user, student or teacher.
-
Cross platform FreeCAD runs on Windows, macOS and Linux operating systems.
-
Underlying technology
- OpenCASCADE A powerful geometry kernel, the most important component of FreeCAD
- Coin3D library Open Inventor-compliant 3D scene representation model
- Python FreeCAD offers a broad Python API
- Qt Graphical user interface built with Qt
Installing
Precompiled (installable) packages are available for Windows and macOS on the Releases page.
On most Linux distributions, FreeCAD is directly installable from the software center application.
Other options are described at the wiki Download page.

Compiling
Compiling FreeCAD requires installation of several libraries and their development files such as OCCT (Open Cascade), Coin and Qt, listed in the pages below. Once this is done, FreeCAD can be compiled with CMake. On Windows, these libraries are bundled and offered by the FreeCAD team in a convenient package. On Linux, they are usually found in your distribution's repositories, and on macOS and other platforms, you will usually have to compile them yourself.
The pages below contain up-to-date build instructions:
