In the following instructions, I have built VTK in '/home/doriad/bin/VTK'
To run a vtk python script, simply type:
python script.py
If you receive this error:
ImportError: No module named vtk
add the following line to ~/.bashrc
export PYTHONPATH=/home/doriad/bin/VTK/lib:/home/doriad/bin/VTK/lib/site-packages:/home/doriad/bin/VTK/Wrapping/Python:$PYTHONPATH
Try to run the script again. If you get something like this:
ImportError: libvtkCommonPythonD.so.pv3.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Add the following to ~/.bashrc
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/doriad/bin/VTK/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
