Thanks for the fast replies! I will look into how to use VTK now.
Where would I find VTK's explicit support for PyQt?

Because I have installed VTK (using its installer) and pyVTK (using
its setup.py file), but how do I actually use it in my code? According
to: http://www.nabble.com/embedded-VTK-window-in-PyQt-application-td23521455.html,
I have tried 'import vtk', but python can't find the vtk module.

Thanks a million!
