[vtkusers] Simple 2D unstructured grid

[Andras Lasso]

Your script works well in Paraview’s embedded Python interpreter, too.

It seems that something is wrong in your Python/VTK environment. To confirm, you can check if other VTK Python examples<https://lorensen.github.io/VTKExamples/site/> crash, too.

Thank you for trying it out. I have upgraded VTK to 7.1.1 from Gohlke's site but the program still crashes Python hard. Does anyone know what might be going on?

Subject: [vtkusers] Simple 2D unstructured grid

Hello list,

    I m trying to create a very, very simple 2D unstructured grid but every time I run my script - no matter what modifications I do - Python crashes hard with a Windows message "Python has stopped working...".

A simplified version of my grid is in the picture below (done in Excel, sorry...):

I attach a copy of my script below. Could anyone offer some suggestions on what I am doing wrong? I am using VTK 7.1.0 on Windows 7 64 bit, Python 2.7 64 bit - VTK comes from Christophe Gohlke very useful Python binary wheels.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Andrea.
