OpenSCAD can only produce triangulations (STL), not CAD geometries (STEP/IGES).
If you want an OpenSCAD-like workflow, but in Python and producing CAD (Brep) files, then cadquery 2 is progressing very quickly. They now have assembly support, so constructing a multi-solid part (as a STEP file) that can be dragged and dropped into FreeCAD is quite easy.
