.ply export works in meshlab, but fails in PyMeshLab (with identical steps and data) about pymeshlab

Hi @KeithT, thanks for reporting this!
We are aware of this issue: it is actually related to the double precision version of meshlab.
It should be already solved (see cnr-isti-vclab/meshlab#859 and cnr-isti-vclab/meshlab#860), but I'll check if there are still other issues.
The fix will be available in the next pymeshlab release, but in the meantime a workaround is to save the ply file without binary encoding:

ms.save_current_mesh(newPath, binary=False)

(Thanks for the feedback, very appreciated! :) )

Great, thanks for the workaround, that worked.
