[vtkusers] Can't get vtk modules to work in python - visual studio

[Shawn Waldon]

I've had to figure this out before... here is what I remember:  First you
should make sure that the vtk binaries you installed were built with
python.  Then you need to add the VTK_INSTALL/lib and
VTK_INSTALL/lib/PythonX/site-packages (replace X with python version,
probably 2.7) folders to both your PATH and your PYTHONPATH environment
variables. Then you should be able to import vtk.

HTH,
Shawn
