Just FYI, GUI/Python also has a faithful translation of the Tcl
example.

I am unable to reproduce it under Linux.  Both your example and the
one in CVS seem to work fine.

$ python -c "import vtk; print vtk.vtkVersion().GetVTKSourceVersion()"
vtk version 4.1.1, vtk source $Revision: 1.1462 $, $Date: 2003/01/16 03:45:10 $ (GMT)
