[vtkusers] Version mismatch in Python bindings?

[David E DeMarle]

Seems to check out OK on a test system here.
vtk version 7.1.0
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr  9 2015, 15:02:17) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)]
on win 32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import vtk
>>> vtk.__file__
'C:\\Program Files\\VTK 7.1.0\\bin\\lib\\site-packages\\vtk\\__init__.pyc'
>>> version = vtk.vtkVersion()
>>> version.GetVTKMajorVersion()
7
>>> version.GetVTKMinorVersion()
1
>>> version.GetVTKSourceVersion()
'vtk version 7.1.0'
>>>

let us know what turns up please.
