[vtkusers] parallel rendering from Python

[Alexander Pletzer]

Hi,

I have just rebuilt vtk (downloaded from cvs end of Aug 2008) with 
Parallel activated:

I had no problem building (as far as I can tell). However, when I try to 
run the example

VTK/Examples/ParallelProcessing/MPI/Python/ParallelCone.py

I get

[pletzer at localhost Python]$ python ParallelCone.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ParallelCone.py", line 9, in <module>
    compManager = vtkCompositeManager()
NameError: name 'vtkCompositeManager' is not defined

It seems that this class is not available from Python? I'm looking for 
an example of a parallel pipeline feeding into a composite render. Any 
example along those lines would be welcome.

Thanks for your help.
