--include-modules re,atexit,sip)
3. Run the resulting cubeAxes.exe

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A window rendering a 3D teapot, instead I get: LinkError: No module named

I have tried the same steps with pythonxy 2.7.3.1 and works fine.

VTK is linked with QT using SIP. You need to add the relevant DLLs as well.
