     Type:  defect                   |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal                   |  Milestone:
Component:  ports                    |    Version:  2.1.3
 Keywords:  vtk python import error  |       Port:  vtk5 @5.10.1_0
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------
 I previously installed the VTK package from source, but couldn't get it to
 work with my MacPorts python (/opt/local/bin/python which points to
 /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7),
 it only worked with my system python (/usr/bin/python which points to
 /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7).

 I then installed the vtk5 port (vtk5 @5.10.1_0+python27+tcltk+x11), but
 I'm getting the same result:

 {{{
 $ python
 Python 2.7.5 (default, Jun 28 2013, 22:20:00)
 [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 4.2 (clang-425.0.28)] on darwin
 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import vtk
 Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread
 Abort trap: 6
 }}}

 again, it works fine if I use the system python.  I noticed that the vtk5
 package contained a 'vtkpython' --- and 'import vtk' fails for that as-
 well.  I've attached my system error report for the crash.

 As a temporary solution I was going to just use the system python, but
 because I have modules installed via MacPorts, I can't import numpy,
 matplotlib, etc from the system python.  I'd also be interested in ways to
 resolve that issue - so at least I can get some work done....

 Thanks!
