Hi All,

We added "full" support for running VTK/Python scripts in parallel. You
have to use pvtkpython. Please look at example in
Examples/ParallelProcessing/MPI/Python. 

Here is how you can run it for example on unix computer using mpich with
two processors:

mpirun -np 2 vtkbin/bin/pvtkpython
vtksrc/Examples/ParallelProcessing/MPI/Python/ParallelCone.py

This will display simple cone which is rendered on two nodes and
composited and displayed on first one.
