[vtkusers] a question vtk, python and threading

[Lic. José M. Rodriguez Bacallao]

well, I've digged in the source code in vtk 5.4.2 and it is not done
yet, maybe for the next release, this patch rocks. For now, I have
patched the source of vtk 5.4.2 with the patches provided by DRE and
it seems to work very well as long as U don't have any python
observers listening for events in a vtk object created in another
thread, you cuold only observe in the same thread that created the
observed object. Besides that, everything work like a charm until now.
