Problems with mayavi, pyvtk

[Lemniscate]

Hey, thanks for the info.  Here's the only problem...  I still get
errors.  Here is what happens when I try to import vtkpython...

>>> import vtkpython
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\VTK\vtkpython.py", line 29, in ?
    exec "from "+kit_name+" import *"
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be
found.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', 'C:\\py22', 'C:\\vtk4', 'C:\\Python22\\Lib\\site-packages\\VTK',
'C:\\Program Files\\MayaVi'...


The main problem, though, is that I just want MayaVi to work from
inside python, here is one of the errors I get when I try to import it
(per the manual).  I have pyvtk and it imports with absolutely no
problems, i can generate vtk files that open in the MayaVi.exe
program, I just can't use python to interface with MayaVi (I have the
MayaVi modules, not just the binary version, btw).  I think it has
something to do with the vtk installations.  I looked and it wants
'vtk'+kit+'Python' but all the zip files on the page you gave me (for
Python 2.2) don't have the files.  I was willing to go back to Python
2.1 (his file list for those files showed the files I needed) but the
Python2.1 link is no longer valid.  I also downloaded the vtkcore and
the vtkpython from the vtk page
(http://public.kitware.com/VTK/files/release/4.0/).  Also, I added the
following to my PythonPath (in order to access the dlls):  C:\Program
Files\vtk40\bin


Thanks a bunch,

Lem
