I am looking for a good and well developed library for geometrical manipulations and evaluations in python, like:

• evaluate the intersection between two lines in 2D and 3D (if present)
• evaluate the point of intersection between a plane and a line, or the line of intersection between two planes
• evaluate the minimum distance between a line and a point
• find the orthonormal to a plane passing through a point
• rotate, translate, mirror a set of points
• find the dihedral angle defined by four points

I have a compendium book for all these operations, and I could implement it but unfortunately I have no time, so I would enjoy a library that does it. Most operations are useful for gaming purposes, so I am sure that some of these functionalities can be found in gaming libraries, but I would prefer not to include functionalities (such as graphics) I don't need.

Any suggestions ? Thanks

Answer 1

I found pyeuclid to be a great simple general purpose euclidean math package. Though the library may not contain exactly the problems that you mentioned, its infrastructure is good enough to make it easy to write these on your own.

Answer 2

Python Wild Magic is another SWIG wrapped code. It is however a gaming library, but you could manipulate the SWIG library file to exclude any undesired graphics stuff from the Python API.
