Yes, I think you are right. I did initially use the windows installer. I didn't know that it did't have python bindings. I thought that if I had pyVTK, then it would work. But it didn't. I am now building VTK with sources according to this EXCELLENT tutorial that I have somehow come across, at: http://www-viz.tamu.edu/courses/viza658/08spring/tutorials/WinVTKInstall.html It's for Windows XP, and I am on Vista, but I hope it will work. I have worked my way through most of it now. Thanks Robert! Helvin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
