You're not creating Facet object here, not even Polyhedron.Facet.
Right, which is not the point; I'm trying to override the Facet, a topological
entity of which a Polyhedron is composed of .
( vertex -> halfedge -> facet -> polyhedron )
I think so. External module written in C/C++ is often statically linked.
I'm sorry, but I don't follow you; what has linking to do with changing
the behaviour of the compiled module?
Aaron explained it better than I did. Basically the C/C++ module uses
C/C++ version of Facet class directly without consulting python
interpreter, this is what I meant by static linking.
Since python is dynamic language, all reference is dynamic, but C/C++
are static language, extensions written in C/C++ have to make extra
effort to create dynamic reference.
