I was trying to replicate this solution: How to draw a flat ellipse surface in Blender with the following known dimensions?

import bpy
import math

#IMPORTANT : set 3d cursor to world origin
bpy.context.area.spaces[1].cursor_location = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)

#Add circle curve bpy.ops.curve.primitive_bezier_circle_add(view_align=False, enter_editmode=False, location=(0, 0, 0), layers=(True, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False))

#define variables a = 10 b = 2 c = 3 # I use the half of c d = 5

#Calculate width width = a + b #or width = a + d + b?

#Calculate horizontal distance from world origin of c distance = b / 2

#Calculate height c for the circle #x^2 + y^2 = 1, see Unit Circle x = (distance / (width / 2)) * math.pi * 0.5

cCircle = math.sqrt(1 - x**2)

#now we have to scale the height of the circle, so cCircle becomes c. And give its width. factor = c / cCircle

bpy.ops.transform.resize(value=((width)/2, factor, 1), constraint_axis=(True, True, False), constraint_orientation='GLOBAL', mirror=False, proportional='DISABLED', proportional_edit_falloff='SMOOTH', proportional_size=1)

#Calculate location origin originX = -((width) / 2 ) + b originY = 0 originZ = 0

#Set 3d Cursor at Origin location bpy.context.area.spaces[1].cursor_location = (originX, originY, originZ)

#Set origin to 3d cursor bpy.ops.object.origin_set(type='ORIGIN_CURSOR')

#Move object to world origin bpy.ops.transform.translate(value=((width/2) - b, 0, 0), constraint_axis=(True, False, False), constraint_orientation='GLOBAL', mirror=False, proportional='DISABLED', proportional_edit_falloff='SMOOTH', proportional_size=1, release_confirm=True)

#Voila

But there is a lot of errors on Blender, like this

How to make it work?
