I have very little experience with Activestates Python releases and do
not know if extension modules built using vanilla Python will run with
Active state's Python.  The link error you are getting indicates some
incompatibility but without more detailed error messages I'm not sure
we will be able to help you.  You can try to do the following:

 import vtkCommonPython

and see what you get.  Judging from the traceback you posted I'm
guessing that this should work and that the following fails:

 import vtkRenderingPython

However I can't really say why this happens without more details on
the error.

cheers,
