[vtkusers] python 2.7 and vtk

[Tom Parker]

Vikash,

I am working on the same issue.

To share my results, I never got this completely working on my mac El Capitan, but these environment variables work for me on W10, VTK 7 and VS 2015 Community Edition with a 64 bit build.

These are the environment variables I edited for VTK Python 2.7 on Windows.

PATH

C:\Python27\
C:\Python27\Scripts
C:\Software\VTK-7.0.0.rc2\bin\bin\Debug
C:\Software\VTK-7.0.0.rc2\bin\lib\Debug

PYTHONPATH

C:\Python27\lib
C:\Software\VTK-7.0.0.rc2\bin\bin\Debug
C:\Software\VTK-7.0.0.rc2\bin\lib\Debug
C:\Software\VTK-7.0.0.rc2\bin\Wrapping\Python
C:\Software\VTK-7.0.0.rc2\bin\Wrapping\Python\vtk

Now I can run python.exe and successfully import vtk and run most python examples without error.

Hi everyone,
This might be a solved problem but I was not able to find a solution that worked for me. So, if someone can help me out it will be really great.

I am trying to use vtkpython. I cannot install it using pip. So, I found the binary packages for python on the vtk website. The vtkPython executable seems like a python interpreter.
Is there a way I could use the classical Python 2.7 interpreter and still use the vtk modules. The reason, I am more inclined to use my old interpreter because I can use pip for installing packages.

Any help ??

Thanks
Vikash
