[vtk-developers] vtkProgrammableSource in VTK 5.0 with Python

[Tadeu Manoel]

Why is vtkProgrammableSource::SetExecuteMethod exported to python and 
vtkProgrammableSource::SetRequestInformationMethod is not exported by 
default?

I am migrating some code from VTK 4.2 to VTK 5.0, and I'm new to this 
new pipeline architecture. I'm having this problem now: in VTK 4.2, when 
vtkProgrammableSource::UpdateInformation() were called, it automatically 
called the ExecuteMethod from inside of it and everything was fine, but 
now in 5.0 it tries to call the internal RequestInformationMethod, and I 
have no way to set it from Python.

I know this new way is better (UpdateInformation should not request the 
full data), but I'm locked because I can't write my own 
UpdateInformation for the source.

Would the best solution be VTK exporting this function by default? Am I 
missing something?
