I was trying to reconstruct the mesh from a point cloud and would like to use ball pivoting in my code.
How can I write the code?

Are you running the latest version from GitHub? The version on PyPI doesn't have ball pivoting yet. I can try to update that soon.

I see. So how can I run the latest version from GitHub?
By the way, must I install MeshLab on my computer to run your scripts?

You can install the github version using PIP:

pip install -e git+git://github.com/3DLIRIOUS/MeshLabXML#egg=MeshLabXML

Yes, MeshLab must be installed, as MeshLabXML is primarily a front end to meshlabserver.
