yes, what you're looking for is already there:
https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/wiki/TVTK
which is an incredible cool project: it allows you to use VTK in a _far_ more
pythonic manner, and makes it very easy to do add custom interfaces.
also the fact is that it'll provide you with an incredible nice development
enviroment, that'll boost your productivity immensely.

highly recommended.
