Now that you mention it, I still have a question about this TkWidgets 
library.
Is it maybe possible to implement a way to turn off the Tk dependent 
parts when building VTK with Python wrapping? (this only affects the 
widgets, right?)

For our project we are using wxPython and thus don't need the Tk 
Widgets. It is kind of annoying to have to install Tk on all our 
development systems (both Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X machines) just 
so we can build our application.

Best regards,
