Hi,

I cannot help you with compiling ITK and ITKVtkGlue with Python.

But if your goal is to load data using ITK, apply simple filters and 
visualize the result in VTK, then it will be easier to do:
SimpleITK (instead of ITK) -> numpy -> VTK
I attach a working volume rendering example to this email.

You can install SimpleITK with:
sudo easy_install SimpleITK
(see http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK/Release_4/SimpleITK for more info on 
SimpleITK)

If you looked at some ITK-Python examples, you surely have realised 
they're not really Python-friendly. SimpleITK is.

If you really want something like WrapITK, then you could try the 
binaries from:
http://www.paulnovo.org/repository

Let me know if the script works for you. You might have to adapt the 
transfer function depending on what is in your file.

Kind regards,

Kevin
