If you can remember what problems you had, I'd like to fix them. I'm clearing up a number of (really dumb) memory leaks. I'm sorry I don't remember what the problems were. It was some time ago (probably 14-16 months) when I was trying to use the module. After spending a day or two on it, I switched to the Delny module (which I had used in the past). I do have Dlaunay triangulation working using VTK (which is included in Enthought Python), but I haven't been able to figure out how to extract the triangle list from the object containing the resulting triangulation. The object method that people on the VTK mailing list tell me to call isn't available in the Python binding. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! .. does your DRESSING at ROOM have enough ASPARAGUS? visi.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Well, that's what Cygwin is for -- to make it easy to do that. I know that's its intent. In my experience it doesn't succeed very well. I've spent years supporting a set of development tools under both Cygwin and Linux. The Cygwin versions are a continuous pain for everybody involved. What's not working? I have never tried to run my application under Cygwin. AFAICT, many of the Python packages I use aren't available as packages for Cygwin, and I don't really want to spend the time trying to build and maintain them. My experiences building things from source in Cygwin haven't been good in the past, and I have zero experience bundling up Cygwin-hosted applications for delivery. I have used an application suite under Windows that comprised Cygwin apps and a bundled Cygwin installation, and it was a total distaster. Perhaps that was just a singularly bad example, but it sure made it seem like using Cygwin as a platform for delivering Windows applications was a bad idea. I'm also not clear what your problem is with Delny with qhull under Windows. I wasn't able to find a copy of Delny and qhull library for Windows. I did find postings asking where one could be found. Those postings went unanswered. What errors have you gotten? All the tests pass for me. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! Alright, at you!!

It looks like VTK might do the trick. I can do the triangulation, I just can't figure out how to get the data out of the object containing the results.
