[Bf-committers] EditMesh funcs must no longer be static

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

I have severe troubles with exposing editmesh to python. This code was  
not meant (at all) to be a stable and accessible API, and it is due to  
change dynamically as well. The last cleanup round wasn't even half  
finished.

The editmesh is highly critical code that needs to be fully reliable &  
stable, bothering about what's exported to third parties is not a  
requirement I like to see happening now.

So what's the focus of our Python API? It can't be replacing C  
coding... for that Blender wasn't designed at all.
