Hi David and Rob,
Just want to add another data point.
I have rebuild ParaView from git source with MSVC2008 instead. Everything else 
is the same with what I was reporting before. Enthought Python 7.0.1 64bit is 
used. All the python flags in Cmake are turned on. PYTHON_DEBUG_LIBRARY is left 
empty accompanied with modified C:/Python27/include/pyconfig.h as following, 
i.e. assigning python27.lib as the debug library instead of default 
python27_d.lib.

                /* For an MSVC DLL, we can nominate the .lib files used by 
extensions */
#ifdef MS_COREDLL
#             ifndef Py_BUILD_CORE /* not building the core - must be an ext */
#                             if defined(_MSC_VER)
                                                /* So MSVC users need not 
specify the .lib file in
                                                their Makefile (other compilers 
are generally
                                                taken care of by distutils.) */
#                                             ifdef _DEBUG
#                                                             pragma 
comment(lib,"python27.lib")//"python27_d.lib")
#                                             else
#                                                             pragma 
comment(lib,"python27.lib")
#                                             endif /* _DEBUG */
#                             endif /* _MSC_VER */
#             endif /* Py_BUILD_CORE */
#endif /* MS_COREDLL */

The entire build went smoothly. And now I have a running (Debug) paraview 
package! Another interesting thing to be noted is with "VTK_WRAP_PYTHON_SIP". 
When it is enabled, CMake looks for sip installation in the system. However, 
current SIP source distribution for windows
http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/sip/download
does not have 64bit windows specs. There is only win32-msvc2008 variation as 
the closest match. That creates a 32bit installation instead. And 
vtkCommonPythonSIP(D) projects cannot be built due to incompatible libraries...

Best,
x

vtkPythonCore errors

Hi Dave and All,
I got some progress in terms of building vtkPythonCore. I had Enthought's 
Python distribution ver 7.0.1 !!!64bit!!! initially. I have verified it is 
indeed a 64bit Python executable. The package comes with python27.lib and CMake 
did not blink and automatically set PYTHON_LIBRARY to that lib. However, during 
building, MSVC2010 kept reporting "python27.lib" cannot be found.
Now, the fun part, I uninstalled Enthought distribution and tried "Python 2.7.1 
Windows X86-64 Installer" from
http://www.python.org/getit/
This time, MSVC2010 no longer complained about missing "python27.lib". I am 
left with errors like

Error    1          error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol 
__imp__invalid_parameter_noinfo_noreturn            
C:\ParaViewGit_VS2010\VTK\Wrapping\Python\vtkPythonUtil.obj           
vtkPythonCore

After a bit digging, the error has something to do std::vector. Here are the 
beginning lines of vtkPythonUtil.cxx

#include "vtkPythonUtil.h"
#include "vtkPythonOverload.h"

#include "vtkSystemIncludes.h"

#include "vtkObject.h"
#include "vtkSmartPointerBase.h"
#include "vtkWeakPointerBase.h"
#include "vtkVariant.h"
#include "vtkStdString.h"
#include "vtkUnicodeString.h"
#include "vtkWindows.h"
#include "vtkToolkits.h"

#include <vtksys/ios/sstream>
#include <vtkstd/map>
#include <vtkstd/vector>
#include <vtkstd/string>
#include <vtkstd/utility>
       ...

After I move "#include <vtkstd/vector>" to the top of the file, POW! 
vtkPythonCore is successfully built. So I guess #include <vector> in 
vtkstd/vector.h gets undefined somewhere by those headers listed before it. Not 
sure whether it is a bug for other people.

Hi David,
I am out of luck.
Just did a fresh CMake configure with PARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON on and the same 
PYTHON_LIBRARY value. The errors from MSVC2010. Any other suggestions?
Best,

Hi Xunlei,

What do you have the PYTHON_LIBRARY cmake option set to? If you set that 
correctly then it should be able to link properly. For example this is what it 
is set to on my machine.

C:/Support/Python27-x32/libs/python27.lib

Hello,
I am building Paraview from git source on a Windows7 64bit OS with MSVC2010. I 
have enabled
PARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON and VTKMY_WRAP_PYTHON in my CMake. I also built Python 
2.7.1 64bit from source so that I have both python27.lib and python27_d.lib 
available. However the core python related projects are failed to build in both 
Debug and Release builds. Then the effects just trickled down like crazy. Below 
are 3 major errors in Debug build I feel might be the primary errors. And I do 
link python27_d.lib for all of them. Please see the attached CMakeLists.txt for 
more details.

Error      6              error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python27.lib'

Would you please help me? Thanks a lot.

Best,
