[vtkusers] wxPython+Cocoa+VTK?

[Scott Harris]

OK, I had to:

1. Hand code the values for WX_USE_GLCANVAS and WX_USE_X_CAPTURE. I need to go back and see why the try/except stuff was crashing. I was in a hurry for something to work.

2. Do some renaming (added "wx." all over) since "from wx import *" fails, but import wx works. I need to see understand why from wx import * fails for me, but that's a question for the wxGang.

3. Rename vtkpython to vtk.

It seems to work, but the size of the cone and background are very small and only sit in the upper right hand corner of the window. Resizing the window makes everything snap together, so there's an initialization problem.

Anyhow, I'll fix that size issue on initialization and just use this old, modified version.

Is this a bug that should be fixed so that the current wxVTKRenderWindow stuff will work out of the box for OS X users?
