[vtk-developers] Improvements to the Python wrapping in VTK

[Pat Marion]

Nice!  I will give it a try on the PCL plugin for ParaView.  I recently
updated this plugin to use vtk master, previously it was on vtk 5.10.  The
plugin has client-server wrapping and python wrapping.  Should I try using
your topic branch as-is or should I wait for a new version?
