# Introduction

pycollada is a python module for creating, editing and loading COLLADA, which is a COLLAborative Design Activity for establishing an interchange file format for interactive 3D applications.

The library allows you to load a COLLADA file and interact with it as a python object. In addition, it supports creating a collada python object from scratch, as well as in-place editing.

pycollada uses lxml for XML loading, construction, and saving. numpy is used for numerical arrays. Both of these libraries are impleted in C/C++ which makes pycollada quite fast.

pycollada was originally written by Alejandro Conty Estevez of Scopia Visual Interfaces Systems in 2009. Since 2011, the library is now maintained by Jeff Terrace. For a list of additional contributors, see the AUTHORS file included with distribution.
