[vtkusers] Using VTK 3.1/3.2 & 4.0 with Python

[Tom Bridgman]

Hello,

Here's a real legacy support question. :^)

Can anyone point me to any reasonably complete reference for using
Python 1.5.2 with VTK 3.1/3.2 and 4.+?

I'm trying to reproduce (in pure Python) a module developed here
originally in C++ to which we seem to have lost the source code.  I want
to get this module ported completely to Python before we move to update
our Python & VTK installations.

Basically, I'm trying to navigate point & polygon lists of an isosurface
(generated by vtkContourFilter or vtkMarchingCubes) to export the object
to a different file format.  The C++ samples on pgs 344-349 of "The
Visualization Toolkit, 2nd edition" have provided some guidance in this
project, but some aspects of the C++ API seem unsupported or supported
differently in Python.

Can anyone provide any useful guidance on this?

Thanks,
Tom
