Get the nightly RPMS then.

Download the source, read the README.html and follow instructions.
Ask here if you run into trouble.

There is a README.txt in Wrapping/Python for python related issues.  I
recently updated it to include an installation section.  The vtk
package directory contains subdirs for different GUIs.  Each of these
packages comes with a working example at the end of the file.  So you
should look at:

You can also browse the VTK sources online here:

Also if you are looking for a fairly large pure Python + Tkinter + VTK
application you might want to look at MayaVi (http://mayavi.sf.net).
