How to make a Torus Knot spline

Hi! I wounder if there is a way of making a Torus Knot spline. One way I was thinking about it to use a plugin to make a spline out of the Torus Knot geometry, but the one I can find is out of date (like 2003). Is there other ways?

Regards / Jimmy

You could
- create a torus knot (extended primitive)
- collapse to editable poly
- go to subobject edge mode
- select an edge which runs along the length and click Loop
- then do Create Shape from Selection

... but this will just be a plain spline... no parameters like you get w/ the torus knot object.
