Summary0013699: Bug in Wrapping/Python/setup_install_paths.py
DescriptionHandling of options is in Wrapping/Python/setup_install_paths.py is buggy.

In line 38 of Wrapping/Python/setup_install_paths.py in Vtk 5.10, there is `options[option] = 1` to handle command line options that do not contain a "=".
However, "option" is not set or set to the value from the previous command arg if an ValueError in the `option, value = string.split(arg,"=")` operation is raised.

The line 38 should contain `options[arg] = 1` because `arg` is the right thing here.

To see the bug call `python Wrapping/Python/setup_install_paths.py purelib --prefix=/homebrew/Cellar/vtk/5.10.0 --single-version-externally-managed`. You'll find that `options['--prefix']==1`.

 This issue was fixed in the master branch on May 30, 2012 (commit dd5762a4). Unfortunately it was not backported to VTK 5.10.

 Ok, no worries, I made a small patch for the vtk formula in homebrew. We can just wait for the next version but perhaps others may run into this bug, too.
