Hi,
There is probably no existing solution for this. Is it to convert python script to executable binary?

Hi,
Thank you for your response.
We got somewhat two solutions that seems workable, but might require further testing.

  1. meshlab seem to export ply as obj in a way it could open resulting obj.
    What is unknown is if other programs will also be able to visualize the resulting obj.
  2. could you help out converting it to .obj, please? · Issue #293 · daavoo/pyntcloud · GitHub
    I have not had a chance to test it yet though
