[vtk-developers] PythonCore module removal

[David Gobbi]

Hi David,

This just depends on python, right?  Not the python wrappers?
So it could do its own find_package(PythonLibs REQUIRED)
and set up the include_directories and link_libraries, completely
independent of the wrappers.  I'm not saying it would be easy...
some important things like the generation of vtkPythonConfigure.h
and choosing between the release & debug versions of the python
library are tied up with wrapping and would need to be refactored.

Are you sure the class should have an innocuous name like
"vtkMathTextUtilities" when it requires python, matplotlib, and
(I'm guessing) latex in order to work?

 - David
