+\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
+
+The SMESH python package contains helper functions to manipulate mesh elements and
+interact with these elements.
+
+Note that these functions either encapsulate the python programming interface of SMESH core
+(the CORBA or SWIG interface for example) or extend existing utilities as the smesh.py module.
+
+The functions are distributed in the python package \b salome.smesh.
+
+\note
+The main package \b salome contains other sub-packages that are distributed with the other
+SALOME modules. For example, the KERNEL module provides the python package \b salome.kernel
+and GEOM the package \b salome.geom.
+
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.
+Class \ref smeshstudytools.SMeshStudyTools "SMeshStudyTools" provides several methods to manipulate mesh objects in Salome study.
+
As soon as mesh is created, it is possible to manage it via its own
methods, described in class \ref smeshBuilder.Mesh "Mesh" documentation.
