[vtk-developers] Problem with Python wrappers

Hi Prabhu,

I've merged a patch into the git master that uses names like these:

vtkSparseArray_IdE -> vtkTypedArray_IdE -> vtkArray

Templated names use an underscore, followed by a template parameter
list that is mangled according to the gcc ABI (regardless of the
compiler that is actually used).  So now instantiating a class like
this will work:

a = vtkSparseArray_IdE()

but, in general, the following method for instantiating templates is preferred:

a = vtkSparseArray['float64']()

You can test the change by fetching the master and then merging my commit:
git fetch origin master
git merge 9f25761dd9f93d1eabedc3f2f84023235e7ba69f
