[vtkusers] install python wrapping on Mac 10.7

[David Gobbi]

Hi Shiyan,

Did "make install" give an error, or did it just do nothing?  I have seen the
following error on some systems:

  "This directory does not currently exist.  Please create it and try again,
  or choose a different installation directory (using the -d or
  --install-dir option)."

If you get the error that I quoted above, then setup.py is telling you that it
needs you to specify a site-packages directory that already exists and is
in the python path.

If "make install" didn't give any error, then your problem is something else.
