Polygonal mesh library developed at Body Labs.

The library is under active maintenance, and the goals are compatible with that:

- Keep the library working in current versions of Python and other tools.
- Make bug fixes.
- Provide API stability and backward compatibility with the upstream version.
- Respond to community contributions.

The eventual goal is to perform a rewrite of the loader and core mesh
functionality with quad support as part of a ["lace-core" project][lacecore]
and consider how to handle the extensive mesh manipulation functions which
remain.

This library was refactored from legacy code at Body Labs by [Alex Weiss][],
with portions by [Eric Rachlin][], [Paul Melnikow][], [Victor Alvarez][],
and others. It was extracted from the Body Labs codebase and open-sourced by
[Guillaume Marceau][]. In 2018 it was [forked by Paul Melnikow][fork] and
published as [metabolace][fork pypi]. Thanks to a repository and package
transfer from Body Labs, the fork has been merged back into the original.
