It looks like you're using this package: http://cens.ioc.ee/projects/pyvtk/ These are not the official Python bindings to VTK, but seem to be an add-on that allow you to manipulate VTK _files_ from Python. The official bindings are included in the VTK distribution and can be enabled at build-time (assuming you build VTK yourself). For a simple example that will open a window and show some 3D object, see for example the example code the vtkConeSource class: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/Examples/Tutorial/Step1/Python/Cone.py?root=VTK&content-type=text/plain > Simply running "vtk" (apparently 4.0) VTK 4.0 is really really old. Consider switching to 5.0 at least or use the CVS version if you feel adventurous. Hope this helps, Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
