This doesn't look like the vtk common module, it looks like the one from 
pyvtk. Maybe you have a bad installation of pyvtk that clobbered your 
vtk installation? Look inside 
/data0/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/vtk/common.py whether it is 
from vtk or from pyvtk. The on from vtk should basically just do

     from libvtkCommonPython import *
