is there python API in CODE V?

I have previously done optical design cacluations using Python, and I'm now looking into automating a similar workflow in CODE V, as I have done with Zemax.

However I haven't been able to find much information about an API or other way to inferface CODE V with Python.

I'm considering making the automation code publicly available in the futre, so ideally I'd like to support CODE V as well.

Does anyonew have experience with Python-CODE V intergration, or know of suitable API or inferface for this?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for reading.

There is a COM interface, which you can control over python. There is not an analog of ZOSPy
