[vtkusers] How to install vtk?

[Julian CHIA Yan Hon]

I am trying to run an example script of vtk with a python wrapper. However, I get the following error message. Can someone advice me how I can import the vtk module from the python compiler? Thank you.
 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "G:\vtk\vtk542_source\Examples\Medical\Python\Medical2.py", line 6, in <module>
    import vtk
ImportError: No module named vtk

I am a new vtkuser & python user and need help with the following.

I am trying to install vtk5.4.2 with a python 2.6.4 wrapper (see attached) and subsequently run some python script with vtk functions.

However, I noticed that visual studio complained that it experienced 3000 error when building the release version of the binary. 

Can someone advice me how to succesfully build a vtk binary and also how do I subsequently use the binary with python? 

I find the starting up process to learning to use vtk very difficult and need help.

Thanks,

Julian
