no module named vtk

[Aron Wahlberg]

Yes, I have encountered +py26. I've even had it running before and it worked fine for several months until I reinstalled a software (FEniCS) that depended on vtk. However, Paraview still worked though. Isn't that wiered?

Anyway, now everything is fine again! :)
