[vtkusers] vtk and python for large amout of data

[David Gobbi]

Hi Berk,

What version of Python & which version of Numeric are you using?
Because what works for you, doesn't work for me (Python 2.1,
Numeric 11).

Maybe later versions of Numeric allow an array to be coerced
into a string, but that would surprise me.
