[Bf-python] error with Mesh ?

[Martin Poirier]

That's exactly what's happening.

Since you went for the mesh directly, the API doesn't
know what object to use to get the vertex groups
(since the mesh could be linked to more than one
object).

Yes, it's a bit silly that it is object-level but
accessible in mesh.
