Thanks Andy.  Haven't tested it yet and just looked at the code.
Looks good.  The only question is will this play nicely when someone
installs VTK from source and still has the build tree lying around.
Will it trigger the infamous "ValueError: not a VTK object" exception?
I'll try and check this and if it works I'll update the README
accordingly.

cheers,
