Hi,

The bundled add_mesh_twisted_torus.py by Paolo Gomes could use a little tweak..

Maybe it's a good idea to change the TWISTS property from INT to FLOAT
I had the need for 0.5 twists to create a Mobius Strip with only 1 complete twist
Selecting 1 for twists in fact creates 2 twists

(I was following a tutorial made for 3dsmax, and it showed exactly the same behaviour with their torus settings)

  twists = FloatProperty(name="Twists",
      description="Number of twists of the torus",
      min=0.0,
      max=256.0,
      default=1.0)

When selecting smaller that 1 values, the torus will get distorted on the last segment.. but that is easily fixable with a delete/bridge
(Same behavior btw as 3dsMax torus)

If someone has the knowledge/time, the delete/bridge could be built in ofcourse
