To get started with pyAssimp, examine the `sample.py` script in `scripts/`, ### Complete example: 3D viewer
which illustrates the basic usage. All Assimp data structures are wrapped using
ctypes. All the data+length fields in Assimp's data structures (such as
`aiMesh::mNumVertices`, `aiMesh::mVertices`) are replaced by simple python
lists, so you can call len() on them to get their respective size and access
members using [].
For example, to load a file named 'hello.3ds' and print the first `pyassimp` comes with a simple 3D viewer that shows how to load and display a 3D
model using a shader-based OpenGL pipeline.

To use it, from within `/port/PyAssimp`:
```
$ cd scripts
$ python ./3D-viewer <path to your model>
```
You can use this code as starting point in your applications.
