[ITK-users] ITK Python: numpy to itk image (and viceversa)

Hi Fabio,

the first error is coming from ITKCommonCastXML project, and the other
first 1000 errors are also coming from*CastXML and *Swig projects. This
means that the wrapping infrastructure is somehow triggering that bug in
VS2017.

The easiest thing to try is update CastXML, which Matt said would take care
of. Let's see if that helps.
