Generating equidistance points along the boundary of a polygon but CW/CCW

Question

Suppose I have the vertices of a polygon and they are all oriented CCW. I wish to generate n equidistance points along the boundary of this polygon. Does anyone know of any existing package that does this, and if not, an algorithm one can use? I am working in Python. For example, here is what I would like if the polygon in question is a rectangle:

shapely:

import shapely.geometry as sg
import shapely.affinity as sa
import matplotlib.pyplot as P
import numpy as np

n = 7
k = 11
ori = sg.Point([0,0])
p = [sg.Point([0,1])]
for j in range(1,n):
    p.append(sa.rotate(p[-1],360/n,origin=ori))
ngon = sg.Polygon(p)
P.figure()
P.plot(*ngon.exterior.xy,"-k")
P.scatter(*np.transpose([ngon.exterior.interpolate(t).xy for t in np.linspace(
    0,ngon.length,k,False)])[0])
P.axis("equal");P.box("off");P.axis("off")
P.show(block=0)
