[vtkusers] vtk.vtkVersion() not exposed to python?

[Johann Cohen Tanugi]

hello,
Waiting for some hints I try to make a clean rebuild, and read the 
manual carefully for hints/warnings.... but I still cant see 
vtkVersion.... It is like it is not exposed.
I have attached the cmake config file.
During the build I can see the following, related to vtkVersion and python:

bash-2.05b$ grep vtkVersion log
Building CXX object Common/CMakeFiles/vtkCommon.dir/vtkVersion.o
Generating vtkVersionPython.cxx
Building CXX object 
Common/CMakeFiles/vtkCommonPythonD.dir/vtkVersionPython.o
Generating vtkVersionTcl.cxx
Building CXX object Common/CMakeFiles/vtkCommonTCL.dir/vtkVersionTcl.o

Also I can do the follwoing:
nm --demangle /data0/local/lib/libvtkCommonPythonD.so | grep vtkVersion
000b421c T PyVTKClass_vtkVersionNew
0016ae60 d PyvtkVersionMethods
000b3e6c t PyvtkVersion_IsA(_object*, _object*)
000b41fe t vtkVersionStaticNew()
000b3f04 t PyvtkVersion_NewInstance(_object*, _object*)
000b3dc8 t PyvtkVersion_GetClassName(_object*, _object*)
000b3f8e t PyvtkVersion_SafeDownCast(_object*, _object*)
000b401c t PyvtkVersion_GetVTKVersion(_object*, _object*)
000b4138 t PyvtkVersion_GetVTKBuildVersion(_object*, _object*)
000b408c t PyvtkVersion_GetVTKMajorVersion(_object*, _object*)
000b40e2 t PyvtkVersion_GetVTKMinorVersion(_object*, _object*)
000b418e t PyvtkVersion_GetVTKSourceVersion(_object*, _object*)
000b4294 W vtkVersion::SafeDownCast(vtkObjectBase*)
000b431a W vtkVersion::GetVTKVersion()
000b4348 W vtkVersion::GetVTKBuildVersion()
000b4334 W vtkVersion::GetVTKMajorVersion()
000b433e W vtkVersion::GetVTKMinorVersion()
000b4352 W vtkVersion::GetVTKSourceVersion()
000b426e W vtkVersion::IsA(char const*)
        U vtkVersion::New()
000b436c W vtkVersion::IsTypeOf(char const*)
000b42e4 W vtkVersion::NewInstance() const
0016af00 d vtkVersionDoc

So a C++ class vtkVersion seems indeed to be there.... BBut when I go to 
python, I get the output attached in pyout.txt....I have plenty 
exposed.... but not vtkVersion.....
I also tried to look into the Python file directory :
bash-2.05b$ grep vtkVersion 
/data0/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyvtk/*
Binary file 
/data0/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyvtk/libvtkCommonPython.so 
matches
bash-2.05b$ grep vtkVersion 
/data0/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyvtk/__init__.py
bash-2.05b$

Can someone tell me if I should get more when I grep for vtkVersion in 
any of this way? I really have the feeling that for some weird reason 
vtkVersion, though compiled, is not exposed to python, but I am out of 
clue at that stage.

I hope someone can help....
best,
Johann
