[vtkusers] Problem VTK4 + python 2.2

[David Gobbi]

Hi Emmanual,

Sorry for taking so long to get to this, but I just tried
VTK with python 2.2 today.

At least for me, the VTK 4.X and python2.2 combination seems
to work fine.  I built VTK with shared libraries.

My suspicion is that if you do a "make clean" of VTK and rebuild,
then the problem will go away.  Also make sure that CMakeCache.txt
is pointing to the correct set of header files for python2.2.

You can also do a quick check as follows:

>> data = vtkImageData()
>> type(data)
<type 'vtkobject'>

If the type of a vtk class instance is not 'vtkobject' then something
is wrong.
