Methods that return a "float *", "int *" etc. are only wrapped if they
are listed in vtk/wrap/hints.  That goes for both python and tcl.  There
have been discussions on the mailing list in the past about how to
eliminate the hints file and have these methods wrapped automatically.
Do a search for 'hints' in the mail archive.

For now, use mapper.GetInput().GetBounds() instead.
