Warning concerning VTK when using mlab

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

I am running python(x,y) 2.7.2.1 on windows 7, and I have installed mayavi 
using the setup options in the installer. When I run the IPython (mlab) 
interactive console or try to import mlab, I get the following warning: 
Imported VTK version (5.8) does not match the one used to build the TVTK 
classes (5.6). is this serious?

Thanks,
Peter

VTK supposedly is backwards compatible. But, we'll rebuild ETS to avoid this 
warning.

It is, in fact, critical that the two versions match. I was experiencing the 
same warning message after upgrading to pythonxy 2.7.2.1 on windows 7. While I 
was able to get some elements of scenes to render correclty other elements were 
wrong. Background, axes, and axes labels were all rendering black where they 
should have been rendering in gray, white, and white, respectively. 

As a workaround until an official pythonxy ETS plugin is released, I located a 
binary for ETS 4.1.0 here:

Make sure you get the 32-bit version if you are running pythonxy.
