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

[Johann Cohen Tanugi]

excellent tip!
[cohen at glast-jct VTK]$ cd /data0/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/
[cohen at glast-jct site-packages]$ /data0/local/bin/python
Python 2.4.2 (#3, Apr 21 2006, 11:56:28)
[GCC 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-47)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import libvtkCommonPython
 >>> libvtkCommonPython.vtkVersion.GetVTKVersion()
'5.0.0'
 >>>

so.... somehow, all this part of the code is not exposed as a module to 
the vtk wrapper.....
I dont see what I could do wrong that would mess up the install in such 
a way....

Well at least I see a few ways I can patch MayaVi locally in order to be 
able to run it.....
I do not understand how I can be missing this lib and still be able to 
test the python functionalities to vtk fine....
