[vtkusers] How to use built vtk with python

[Jothybasu K Selvaraj]

Hi all,

Now I am able to compile vtk 5.7 with python wrapping and it work fine
with vtkpython.exe. But when I try import vtk in python editor

it throws

File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Program
Files\VTK\lib\site-packages\vtk-5.7.0-py2.6.egg\vtk\__init__.py", line
41, in <module>
    from common import *
  File "C:\Program
Files\VTK\lib\site-packages\vtk-5.7.0-py2.6.egg\vtk\common.py", line
9, in <module>
    from vtkCommonPython import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

I have path(sys var) to "C:\Python26;C:\Program Files\VTK\bin" and
pythonpath(user var) to "C:\Program Files\VTK\bin;C:\Program
Files\VTK\lib\site-packages."

Thanks,

Jothy
