Great. It works now, using:

PYTHONPATH $HOME/software/vtk/VTK/Wrapping/Python:$HOME/software/vtk/k7/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH $HOME/software/vtk/k7/bin

I just wonder: is there a cleaner way? It is just a problem of my 
configuration or the files in VTK/Wrapping/Python don't get installed by a
"make install"?
