[vtkusers] More powerful mechanisms than QVTKRenderWindowInteractor?

[Elvis Stansvik]

Hi all,

The Wrapping/Python/vtk/qt directory in VTK currently only contains
QVTKRenderWindowInteractor.py, a relatively basic wrapper around
vtkGenericRenderWindowInteractor.

The class works, don't get me wrong, although it took some fixing to get
the version in 6.x to work properly with Qt 5. I've also gotten the
impression from VTK devs that this class is more of an example, something
that you're supposed to customize or rewrite to fit your needs.

The situation on the Python side is in stark contrast to the extensive set
of classes available for C++ developers in
GUISupport/Qt{,OpenGL,SQL,Webkit}.

So my question is to the Python/VTK users/developers out there: Do you know
if there's any more powerful/mature Python integration floating around? How
have you gone about it? Did you use QVTKRenderWindowInteractor as it is?
Customize it? Throw it out and wrote something of your own? I'm very
interested to hear about your projects/approaches.

And to the VTK developers: Any chance we could see Qt integration on the
Python side which matches the maturity of the C++ integration? Or maybe
wrappers for the classes in GUISupport?

Cheers,
Elvis
