[vtkusers] Python and VTK

[Dan Lipsa]

Nick,

You should have VTK_PYTHON_VERSION=3 and VTK_WRAP_PYTHON=ON
You should use vtkpython. This has all the right paths to see the VTK
library.

Take a look in your CMakeCache.txt and search for python to see your python
related variables. If some point to python2 paths delete them and
reconfigure and rebuild your VTK.

Hope this helps,
Dan
