[MDAL-Developer] MDAL, Unity and C#

[Paul Harwood]

Well - I was hoping that someone else would have at least some basics as a
starting point :(

I have a Python program that needs to access basic data. I will give it
some thought before I answer your questions - but do you have any
preferences?

As for the repo - I think that the PDAL and GDAL discussions I have seen
would suggest that a "Python bindings" repository would be a much better
idea than including it in the main MDAL repo - avoids the need to create
new versions of MDAL just because of changes to the bindings.
