[vtkusers] VTK and Python 2.x (new style getargs format but...)

[Randy Heiland]

German,

I can only say that using Python 2.2a1 and a nightly VTK from 7/19/01 (on
Linux), the graphics/examplesPython/Cone.py   works fine.

Try a step-by-step approach - entering cmds into the Python interpreter, e.g.:

>>> from libVTKCommonPython import *
>>> from libVTKGraphicsPython import *
>>> ren = vtkRenderer()
>>> ren
vtkOpenGLRenderer (0x819cf30)
  Debug: Off
    ...
>>> renWin = vtkRenderWindow()
>>> renWin.AddRenderer(ren)

--Randy
