You need to have this instead.

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/o/VTK/VTK/Wrapping/Python/:/usr/local/lib/vtk

i.e. /o/VTK/VTK/Wrapping/Python/vtk/ is replaced by
/o/VTK/VTK/Wrapping/Python/

Also, the proposed new interface to the VTK Python modules does not
address the issue of installation.  The installation is a little
tricky and getting it to work under all platforms might be some work.
