[vtkusers] Problems with python bindings.

hi,

	There is a fairly  irritating problem with the python
bindings.  Doing a dir() on a vtkObject fails to show any of the
inherited methods.

For instance:

<python> a = vtkActor ()
<python> dir (a)
['ApplyProperties', 'BuildPaths', 'GetActors', 'GetBackfaceProperty',
'GetBounds', 'GetClassName', 'GetMTime', 'GetMapper', 'GetNextPart',
'GetNumberOfParts', 'GetProperty', 'GetRedrawMTime', 'GetTexture',
'InitPartTraversal', 'ReleaseGraphicsResources', 'Render',
'RenderOpaqueGeometry', 'RenderTranslucentGeometry',
'SetBackfaceProperty', 'SetMapper', 'SetProperty', 'SetTexture',
'ShallowCopy', 'Update'] 
<python>

which doesnt reveal all of the methods one can invoke on an actor.
Specifically the vtkProp3D methods are missing.  Calling the method
still works though.

<python> a.RotateX (10)
<python>

Is there a way around or a fix?

TIA.
