Excellent, thanks!

This looks good to me.

Create a virtualenv, make sure pip can recognize and install the wheel
from the local directory, and test it on VTK examples. For example,

  python3 -m venv test-venv
  ./test-venv/bin/python -m pip install --upgrade pip
  ./test-venv/bin/python -m pip install numpy
  # dist/ contains the generated vtk-8.2.0-cp36-cp36m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
  ./test-venv/bin/python -m pip install vtk --no-cache-dir --no-index -f ./dist/
  ./test-venv/bin/python /path/to/vtk/script.py


HTH,
