[vtkusers] Building VTK 7.1.1 with Python wrapping fail

[Timothee Evain]

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to build VTK 7.1.1 with the Python wrapping with Visual studio 2017 on Win10. Everything goes fine until the end of the build, where a bunch of error appears in the vtkpython project like :

vtkPythonAppInit.cxx
...\VTK_7.1.1\Wrapping\Python\vtkpythonmodules.h(126): error C2664: 'int PyImport_AppendInittab(const char *,PyObject *(__cdecl *)(void))': cannot convert argument 2 from 'void (__cdecl *)(void)' to 'PyObject *(__cdecl *)(void)'
...\VTK_7.1.1\Wrapping\Python\vtkpythonmodules.h(126): note: None of the functions with this name in scope match the target type
...\VTK_7.1.1\Wrapping\Python\vtkpythonmodules.h(129): error C2664: 'int PyImport_AppendInittab(const char *,PyObject *(__cdecl *)(void))': cannot convert argument 2 from 'void (__cdecl *)(void)' to 'PyObject *(__cdecl *)(void)'
...\VTK_7.1.1\Wrapping\Python\vtkpythonmodules.h(129): note: None of the functions with this name in scope match the target type

and so on. The only similar error in the mailing list is http://vtk.1045678.n5.nabble.com/VtK-7-python3-4-build-error-td5735728.html ; but that doesn't help me since my python path are correctly set.

The building config is :
Windows 10 x64
Visual Studio 2017 
Python 3.6.1 (installed from python.org exe)
VTK 7.1.1 with :
-PYTHON_DEBUG_LIBRARY C:/Program Files/Python_3.6.1/libs/python36_d.lib
-PYTHON_EXECUTABLE C:/Program Files/Python_3.6.1/python.exe
-PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR C:/Program Files/Python_3.6.1/include
-PYTHON_LIBRARY C:/Program Files/Python_3.6.1/libs/python36.lib
(-Static libraries)

Anyone have already encountered such problems and solved it ?

Thanks in advance.
