I saw that there is delaunay tessalation as well in mayavi, which
sparked my question.

I am using NEURON, a software package which now uses python.  I have a
number of neuron cells which I need to populate inside a volume.  I
have written a script which will randomly populate points within a
cube which is larger than the volume of interest.  All I need to know
now is whether or not that point is within the volume described by
triangular meshes.

Thanks!
