3 General presentation of the SMESH python package
4 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
6 The SMESH python package contains (today) helper functions to
7 manipulate mesh elements and interact with these elements.
9 Note that these functions either encapsulate the python programming
10 interface of SMESH core (the CORBA or SWIG interface for example) or
11 extend existing utilities as the ``smesh.py`` module.
13 The functions are distributed in the python package
16 The specification of the programming interface of this package is
17 detailled in the part :doc:`Documentation of the programming interface
18 (API)</docapi>` of this documentation.
21 The main package ``salome`` contains other sub-packages that are
22 distributed with the other SALOME modules. For example, the KERNEL
23 module provides the python package ``salome.kernel`` and GEOM the
24 package ``salome.geom``.
