As far as I remember, there are no Python modules in the pre-build
installation packages for Windows. I don't remember that clearly,
though, sorry for not willing to check :)

Anyway, assuming your Python is installed in C:\Python25, check the
C:\Python25\lib\site-packages, it must contain a subfolder called "vtk",
after you install the wrapper. If it does, but "import vtk" still fails,
check inside that "vtk" subfolder if there are dll-s there
(vtkCommonPython.dll etc.) If there are, try renaming them all manually
to *.pyd (e. g. vtkSomethingSomething.dll -> vtkSomethingSomething.pyd).
Since 2.5 Python doesn't recognize *.dll files as it's modules,
requiring *.pyd-s instead.

As for PYTHONPATH environment variable - it's not necessary. All you are
really need for it to work are:

 - vtk dll-s in a folder somewhere on your system (including
vtk*Python.dll and vtk*PythonD.dll-s);

 - PATH must include that folder;

 - Appropriate "vtk" folder in your "site-packages".

 

When I need to install Python wrapper on another machine, I just copy
those in there, that's enough.

 

Good luck.

 

Vladimir.
