<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">The vtkxxxPythonD.dlls must not be renamed to .pyd. Those are not<br>
python modules. They are DLLs that the python modules (like<br>
vtkCommonPython.pyd) need.<br>
<br>
If you built VTK correctly, you should already have<br>
vtkCommonPython.pyd without having to rename any files. All of the<br>
file renaming that you have done is incorrect, none of these files<br>
should ever be renamed.<br>
