python ply-file-format

I am trying to load/read a ply file using PyMesh and this line command:

mesh = pymesh.load_mesh("model.obj")

as it is in http://pymesh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basic.html.

But this gives me an error "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'load_mesh'".

Am I doing anything wrong? Also I want to know if PyMesh really allows to visualize in 3d the objects.

Thank you.

If you installed with pip, you might not have gotten the pymesh module you were intending to use. Since you're looking for the load_mesh() method, you'll want to use this installation guide: http://pymesh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html.
