MeshPy offers quality triangular and tetrahedral mesh generation for Python.
Meshes of this type are chiefly used in finite-element simulation codes, but
also have many other applications ranging from computer graphics to robotics.

In order to generate 2D and 3D meshes, MeshPy provides Python interfaces to
three well-regarded mesh generators, `Triangle
<http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~quake/triangle.html>`_ by J.  Shewchuk, `TetGen
<http://tetgen.berlios.de/>`_ by Hang Si, and `gmsh
<http://www.geuz.org/gmsh/>`_ by Christophe Geuzaine and Jean-François Remacle.
The former two are included in the package in slightly modified versions. A
generic mesh reader for the latter is included, as is an easy way to run `gmsh`
from a Python script.

MeshPy has no dependencies other than a C++ compiler and a working Python installation.

As of Version 0.91.2, MeshPy also works with Python 3.
