Is it possible to select objects one by one?

I want that because i want the script to select 1st object,do something(a code which i will put there)
than 2nd one - do that something,3rd and so one.

Here is my problem:

I have let's say a bunch of cubes and i want to transform in shapes like these ones

https://s17.postimg.org/fbq0nogov/image.jpg

I have this code for point selection by index

import c4d
#Welcome to the world of Python


def main() :
    PointList=[1,3,7]
    #base_select_object
    obj = op.GetObject()
    points =obj.GetPointS()
    for i in PointList :
        points.Select(i)

unfortunately this works now only for python tag,I understand that is better in this case to make it work through Script Manager,but i don't know how to make it work there
Someone suggested that I would have to put these lines above the code

objects = doc.GetActiveObjects(1)**

**
for a in objects :**

**
So the steps would be the script first to select the points 1 and 3,Weld them and then points 5 and 7,Weld them also

But now it selects the points from all cubes and weld them all together,like this

PS:Can I upload images here only by Url?

It doesn't seem like the weld command can be called programmatically as it requires user input to decide which point "wins" in the welding. I've implemented what you described as a script that uses the Optimize command to get the same effect as the weld command.

That's Awesome!!! Thank You Very Much!

But can i ask you something more

Can you do something like this

https://s21.postimg.org/kdqrhl5hj/image.jpg

or at least like this

You know - I extruded the top polygon of the cube and then would follow the process from your script,obviously for right(different) points now - this is for the second image(simpler model)

for the first image would be more steps:
i selected left and right extruded polygons,disconnected them,
then select the lower edges from these polygons,making the distance between them larger with scale tool
after that,select the front and back edges from these polys and also make the same with scale tool

You might want to look into c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand() to accomplish what you want.

Ok Thank You again,I would look on this Command,but nothing promising from me,I'm very newbie
