Summary:                    VTK Qt Python wrapper unusable under Windows
Description: 
The toy example in [1] doesn't work under Windows (tested with PySide
v1.1.0, PyQt4 v4.9.1, VTK 6.0.0 commit
6214dd0542d64a66c8a94797e938f1b15da747d2, Python 2.7.3):

The source of the problem is located in QVTKRenderWindowInteractor.py:158

       self._RenderWindow.SetWindowInfo(str(int(self.winId())))

With PySide, the winId() method returns a PyCObject. The bug is known
and has been reported (see [2]). With PyQt4, the winId() method
returns a 'sip.voidptr' that needs to be handled accordingly.
