Hello,

  If i have understood this, a metaball has many metaelements, like the 
armature can have many root bones (at least, it's a list in the C 
structure pointing the root bones structures). Then in my opinion and to 
keep object orientation, we should make another module MetaElem as a 
submodule of MetaBall wrapping the MetaElem C object. Then, in python,  
we should get the MetaElems of a metaball and work with the list and 
each objects separately. It takes some more coding, but i think it leads 
to a nicer object oriented API...
  What do you think.
