[vtk-developers] python wrapping bug?

[Clinton Stimpson]

What's the plan for the cmake flag to ignore BTX/ETX?
While I'm experimenting with external types (such as Qt types), I'd like 
some level of control on what gets wrapped.  I've been relying on 
BTX/ETX to mark things that should be ignored.
For example, Common/vtkInstantiator has a CreateFunction type and a 
couple functions that use it, which are now getting wrapped with my 
experimental modifications, when it shouldn't be.
But I'd like the functions in GUISupport/Qt/vtkQtTreeView.h that deal 
with Qt types wrapped.

How should one control what gets wrapped in these cases?
Should the wrapper generator instead take an input of what extra types 
to support, and how to support them?
