[SciPy-User] Request for obscure text formats

[G. D. McBain]

meshio [0] reads many (unstructured, particularly finite element) mesh file formats.  Some of these are binary but many are ASCII or contain ASCII variants.  Gmsh's MSH formats (versions 2.2 & 4.1) [1] have provided various challenges over the years.
