[vtkusers] Python bindings / initial values / BuildLinks

[Paul de Bruin]

Hi All,

After an upgrade to the latest CVS of VTK the python bindings appear to
be broken. 

Short example:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from vtk import *
a=vtkPolyData()
a.BuildLinks()

which errors with: 

TypeError: function takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)

(a.BuildLinks(0) works fine btw)

The problem appears to be that the BuildLinks definition in
vtkPolyData.h changed between versions 1.123 and 1.124 from:
void BuildLinks(); 
to
void BuildLinks(int initialSize=0);

Apparently, something goes awry with the generation of python bindings
and default parameters. Of course, one can think of several workarounds,
but a permanent solution would be much appreciated.

Regards,
PdB
