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
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.

see gmsh_interop <https://github.com/inducer/gmsh_interop>
.
MeshPy has no dependencies other than a C++ compiler,
pybind11 <https://pybind11.readthedocs.io/en/stable/>
_,
and a working Python installation. Before installing meshpy,
you may install pybind11 using the command::
pip install pybind11
