[vtkusers] Problems with vtkpython

[Corinne Bachmann]

hi

thank you for your tip

sys.path gives me:
['', '/usr/lib/python25.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.5',
'/usr/lib/python2.5/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk',
'/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages',
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Numeric',
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL',
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages']

and libVTKCommonPython.so is
in /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/vtk, so it should be included,
but importing it results in an error.


oh, and I forgot to mention before, I am using vtk 5.0.3, python 2.5.1
on Suse 10.3.
