You could try my pre-configured VTK 5.1 binaries for Python 2.5, all
built with Visual Studio 8:
http://cpbotha.net/2007/08/02/python-enabled-vtk-51-and-itk-32-windows-binaries/

I am planning to update these to VTK 5.2 when that gets released.

If you're more adventurous and would like to build VTK on Windows
yourself, you can use my really ugly build system, called johannes:
see http://code.google.com/p/devide/wiki/Downloads?tm=2 under
"Building your own from source".  johannes builds far more than just
VTK, so you'll have to follow the instructions in
http://code.google.com/p/devide/source/browse/branches/v8-2/johannes/WINDOWS.txt?r=2831
if you want to build just VTK.

Good luck,
