Yeah, I'm afraid I'm rather behind in updating meson.

I'll try to look into it.

  But meson itself is strictly a command line tool. I don't think it 
provides an importable python module.

'mesonpy' is provided by the 'meson-python' python package [1].

(I think this internally runs 'meson' to do the actual builds.)
