Edit 2021/01/24:
I removes all my scripts because now i use the plugin from this thing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:25036,
But the thing is no longer maintained this is the reason why i forked it from a more recent version,
My version of the plugin is paths2openscad

Introduction
The plugin from paths2openscad is an Inkscape plugin,
When installed:
Select the shapes you want to export,
Go to menu "Extensions / Generate from path / paths to OpenSCAD..."

Installation
From github repository paths2openscad:
Copy files paths2openscad.py and paths2openscad.inx to inkscape extensions folder,
On linux this is ~/.config/inkscape/extensions/

Generated names
The plugin generates openSCAD modules from selected shapes,
The modules are names poly_{shape-ID} (),
Then you can control the module name in Inkscape:
Contextual menu on the shape / Object properties,
Change shape ID as you want,
Better change label with the same value to have a consistent display,
Button Apply.
