You might not need to use install.py. If you are able to run VTK from Tcl, 
then you will be able to run the Tk widget from Python provided that :
         - TkRenderWidget.dll is in the same directory DIR as the usual VTK 
dll (which is the case by default for incremental build)
         - your PYTHONPATH has a path to DIR

Am I right ? Well it works for me, and I do not want any install.py to move 
the dll to the system dir :)

I'm not sure about this, at least for Windows. I'm using 8.3 :)
