Description: External Library Geodesic
        =========================
        
        The `gdist` module is a Cython interface to a C++ library
        (http://code.google.com/p/geodesic/) for computing
        geodesic distance which is the length of shortest line between two
        vertices on a triangulated mesh in three dimensions, such that the line
        lies on the surface.
        
        The algorithm is due Mitchell, Mount and Papadimitriou, 1987; the implementation
        is due to Danil Kirsanov and the Cython interface to Gaurav Malhotra and
        Stuart Knock.
        
        
        Original library (published under MIT license):
        http://code.google.com/p/geodesic/
        
        We added a python wrapped and made small fixes to the original library, to make it compatible with cython.
        
        To install this, either run `pip install gdist` or download
        sources from Github and run `python setup.py install` in current folder.
        
        Basic test could be::
        
            python
            import gdist
        
        
        Python 2.7, Cython, and a C++ compiler are required.
        
        Debian package
        ==============
        
        In order to produce a Debian package, assuming you have the requisite tools
        installed (`apt-get install devscripts python-all-dev python-stdeb`)::
        
            cd debian
            debuild -us -uc
            cd ../../
        
        
        and you should find a suitable deb file for your system.
