[vtkusers] Learning VTK with Python

[David Gobbi]

Several years ago I made a python-VTK framework for medical image
visualization (http://www.atamai.com/AtamaiViewer/NightlyDoc/html/)
and I'm sure that several other groups have also made python
frameworks for specific VTK tasks.  In fact, it seems to me that
Enthought has turned their framework into a business.

My advice is to just focus on high-level python classes like your
Screen class.  Writing python classes for things like the VTK sources
doesn't really add anything.
