[vtkusers] How to use built vtk with python

[Eric E. Monson]

Is there someone who uses VTK and Python on Windows who could summarize the necessary PATH and PYTHONPATH settings (and anything else required)? 

Right now the Unix settings are up on the Tutorials Wiki that David Doria sent the link to, but if you search around for the Windows version it's a little hard to piece it together from a lot of old postings (and I only have experience on Linux and Mac).

Thanks,
-Eric
