[vtkusers] GUISupport python wrappers?

[David Gobbi]

Hi Amos,

Were you using these classes with python in VTK 5?

I'm wondering if you were using the SIP wrappers, which were an extension
of the python wrappers to help the QVTK classes integrate with PyQt.
In VTK 6 and can be turned on with VTK_WRAP_PYTHON_SIP, as was
also the case in VTK 5.

However, no one is maintaining the SIP wrappers anymore, so I do not know
if they still work, and if they do, I do not know if they work with PySide.
