Simply add the directory that contains your libvtkMyPython.so (or
whatever its called) to PYTHONPATH and to import the module do this:

 from libvtkMyPython import *

Alternatively for a more cross platform situation you can add a file
called vtkmy.py in that directory that contains this:

import os

if os.name == 'posix':
    from libvtkMyPython import *
else:
    from vtkMyPython import *

And in your code just say:

import vtkmy
