You also need to set the PYTHONPATH to the directory that contains the
vtk*Python.dll DLLs.  You could do something like this:

PYTHONPATH=c:\vtk40\wrapping\python:c:\vtk40\lib\vtk

Assuming that c:\vtk40\lib\vtk is the place where you have your
vtk*Python.dll's.  You also need to put the c:\vtk40\lib\vtk directory
into your PATH.

Alternatively use the setup.py script in the wrapping\python directory
to install vtk-python.

 # python setup.py install


Hope this helps.
