[Bf-python] error with Mesh ?

[Theo de Ridder]

thanks a lot, once upon a time I have know it.

but the fact that NMesh is deprecated,
that obj.data results in a NMesh, and that you have
to do obj.getData(mesh=1) before calling a mesh method is
a piece of logic that does not fit my type of memory,
and one of the reasons that I once started to wrap everything
with metaclasses behind more consistent and pythonic types and  
attributes.
