vtk5: cannot import in python 2.7.3

[j.pogacnik@…]

Hello,

I'm running OSX 10.7.5. When I try to import vtk in Python2.7.3, I receive this error and Python crashes:

Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)

I have installed python2.7.3 and vtk5 from macports. I've ensured that the Python port selected is python27 (2.7.3). Not sure what else to do.

Any advice? Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Many thanks!

Justin

Thanks for the ticket. In the future, please Cc relevant port maintainers.

Hi, Justin -

The error you describe comes from having python trying to load a vtk module for a different python interpreter.

VTK should build correctly using the macports python; nothing should be built using the system python.

Are all your ports up-to-date? Where I've seen this problem before is when python is trying to load an old vtk (one built without macports, or something like that).

sudo port -dv clean all
sudo port -dv selfupdate
sudo port -dv upgrade outdated

Should help.
