[vtkusers] VTK 4.2.2 with Python 2.3 on OS X

[Robb Brown]

Has anyone gotten VTK running with Python 2.3 on OSX?  The switch from  
Python 2.2 to 2.3 appears to break VTK's wrapping.  When doing an  
"import vtk" here's the error:

Python 2.3 (#2, Jul 30 2003, 11:45:28)

vtkCommon is built, and is accessible (in the same place as all the  
other libraries).  It's been suggested on the Python list this might be  
due to VTK's use of -flat_namespace.  Does anyone have any thoughts?

Build was with GCC 3.1 (same as Python) and VTK using Carbon.

Thanks,

Robb
