Sounds like it is installed, but the python files that are part of the
installation are not installed in a place where your python looks for them.

In your build directory look at CMakeCache.txt. It has a line with
VTK_INSTALL_PYTHON_MODULE_DIR. That says where "make install" puts them.
Compare that to the output of: >python -c  "import sys; print sys.path"

Fix by either changing VTK_INSTALL_PYTHON_MODULE_DIR, recompiling and
reinstalling, or in python add the directory to sys.path.
