[vtk-developers] VTK in virtualenv

[Matt McCormick]

Hi DJ,

Thanks for the tip.  I tried that, but I get the following error:

running install
running bdist_egg
running egg_info
creating VTK.egg-info
writing VTK.egg-info/PKG-INFO
writing top-level names to VTK.egg-info/top_level.txt
writing dependency_links to VTK.egg-info/dependency_links.txt
writing manifest file 'VTK.egg-info/SOURCES.txt'
warning: manifest_maker: standard file 'setup.py' not found

error: package directory 'vtk' does not exist

I am using VTK 6.  Is Python packaging working in VTK master?

Thanks,
Matt
