Could you just try to run the vtkTkRenderWidget.py file.  It includes
a simple example program.  Find the file on your system and run it.  I
am not sure where exactly the RPMs install the file.

$ python2 full_path_to/vtkTkRenderWidget.py

 (Note: replace python2 with the appropriate python interpreter.)

See if you get a segfault.  If you still do run the script from gdb
and see what is going on.

$ gdb /usr/bin/python2
 [...]
(gdb) run full_path_to/vtkTkRenderWidget.py
 [ segfault message ]
(gdb) bt
 [ backtrace output ]

And see what happens.  Hopefully that should give you/us a clue of
where things are wrong.

cheers,
