Just to give you fair warning - the mesh data structure and 
corresponding Python API changed significantly from 0.6 to 0.7.  I 
strongly, strongly encourage you to switch to 0.7 for any 
script-writing.  Although K-3D 0.7 is technically an "unstable" release, 
in practice it is superior to 0.6 in every way.

In the K-3D 0.7 source tree, take a look at

share/scripts/scripted_Plugins/ac3d_exporter.py
share/scripts/scripted_plugins/ogre_exporter.py

for examples of scripts that export mesh data using Python.

Cheers,
Tim
