Have you considered using Blender?
It has a Python API, and can also be used in headless mode (without a GUI) by using blender --python script.py.
It also has an STL import/export plugin (make sure to enable it in Preferences -> Addons if you decide to try it). I'd also suggest to look at its source code if you decide to roll your own.
