[vtkusers] no module named vtk

[David Feng]

You have to put the vtk libraries on the python path.  I can never
remember how to do this, but if you run your script with vtkpython
instead of python, 'import vtk' should work.  vtkpython sets up your
python path for you, I believe.  A quick scan of the vtk-devel macport
indicates that vtkpython is getting installed, so you should be fine.
