\page smeshpy_interface_page Python interface
-\n Python package smesh defines several classes, destined for easy and
-clear mesh creation and edition.
-
-\n Documentation for smesh package is available in two forms:
-
-\n The <a href="smeshpy_doc/modules.html"> structured
- documentation for smesh package</a>, where all methods and
- classes are grouped by their functionality, like it is done in the GUI documentation
-\n and the \ref smeshDC "linear documentation for smesh package"
- grouped only by classes, declared in the smesh.py file.
-
-\n The main page of the \ref smeshDC "linear documentation for smesh package"
- contains a list of data structures and a list of
- functions, provided by the package smesh.py. The first item in
- the list of data structures (\ref smeshDC::smeshDC "class smesh")
- also represents documentation for the methods of the package smesh.py itself.
-
-\n The package smesh.py provides an interface to create and handle
- meshes. Use it to create an empty mesh or to import it from the data file.
-
-\n Once a mesh has been created, it is possible to manage it via its own
- methods, described at \ref smeshDC::Mesh "class Mesh" documentation
- (it is also accessible by the second item "class Mesh" in the list of data structures).
-
-\n Class Mesh allows assigning algorithms to a mesh.
-\n Please note, that some algorithms,
- included in the standard Salome installation are always available:
- - REGULAR(1D), COMPOSITE(1D), MEFISTO(2D), Quadrangle(2D), Hexa(3D), etc.
-
-\n There are also some algorithms, which can be installed optionally,
-\n some of them are based on open-source meshers:
- - NETGEN(1D-2D,2D,1D-2D-3D,3D),
-
-\n others are based on commercial meshers:
- - GHS3D(3D), BLSURF(2D).
-
-\n To add hypotheses, use the interfaces, provided by the assigned
-algorithms.
-
-\n Below you can see an example of usage of the package smesh for 3d mesh generation.

-\n group.SetName(group_name)

-<b># Add faces in the group</b>
-\n faces = SubShapeAllIDs(piece, ShapeType["FACE"])
-\n UnionIDs(group, faces)
-
-<b># Create a mesh</b>

-\n tetra.Group(group)

-\n Examples of Python scripts for all Mesh operations are available by
+Python API for SALOME %Mesh module defines several classes that can
+be used for easy mesh creation and edition.
+
+Documentation for SALOME %Mesh module Python API is available in two forms:
+- <a href="smeshpy_doc/modules.html">Structured documentation</a>, where all methods and
+classes are grouped by their functionality, like it is done in the GUI documentation
+- <a href="smeshpy_doc/namespaces.html">Linear documentation</a> grouped only by classes, declared
+in the \ref smeshBuilder and \ref StdMeshersBuilder Python packages.
+
+\n With SALOME 7.2, the Python interface for %Mesh has been slightly modified to offer new functionality,
+\n You may have to modify your scripts generated with SALOME 6 or older versions.
+\n Please see \ref smesh_migration_page
+
+Class \ref smeshBuilder.smeshBuilder "smeshBuilder" provides an interface to create and handle
+meshes. It can be used to create an empty mesh or to import mesh from the data file.
+
+As soon as mesh is created, it is possible to manage it via its own
+methods, described in class \ref smeshBuilder.Mesh "Mesh" documentation.
+
+Class \ref smeshBuilder.Mesh "Mesh" allows assigning algorithms to a mesh.
+Please note that some algorithms, included in the standard SALOME
+distribution are always available. Python package \ref StdMeshersBuilder "StdMeshersBuilder"
+provides an interface for standard meshing algorithms included into
+the SALOME %Mesh module distribution, like:
+- REGULAR (1D)
+- COMPOSITE (1D)
+- MEFISTO (2D)
+- Quadrangle (2D)
+- Hexa(3D)
+- etc ...
+
+To add meshing hypotheses, it is possible to use the functions provided by the
+algorithms interfaces.
