So I was able to get vmtk to build using Python 2.6 x64 (3.0 did not work)
so the following is not exactly accurate with 1.0   This occurred last
night after my post after my 3rd attempt at building VMTK with each version
of Python.

>>>
Requirements

vmtk is cross-platform and will compile and work on Linux, Mac OSX and
Windows. Most of the development is performed under Linux and Mac OSX, but
feel free to update us on eventual issues on Windows.

In order to successfully compile and use vmtk, the following software has
to be installed in your system: - Git <http://www.git-scm.org/> (>= 1.6) -
Python <http://www.python.org/> (>=2.6) - CMake <http://www.cmake.org/> (>=2.8)
- A C++ compiler

<<<

especially  the part about Python >= 2.6 in my experience (mileage may
vary).

I was also able to get vmtknetworkextraction to work, but only with the
source build in Win x64 not from binary release

I was able to get pypepad to work and python.

In reference to:

>>>

To do so, position yourself in the Install directory and create a file
named, e.g. vmtk-startup.bat
(the important part is the .bat extension) containing the following code:

rem @echo off
set VMTK_DIR=%~dp0
set
PATH=%VMTK_DIR%bin;%VMTK_DIR%lib\InsightToolkit;%VMTK_DIR%lib\Python;%PATH%
set
PYTHONPATH=%VMTK_DIR%lib\site-packages;%VMTK_DIR%lib\vtk-5.10;%VMTK_DIR%lib\vmtk
cd %VMTK_DIR%
python bin\vmtk-exe.py
 <<<

Sounds like some good stuff to put into a run_vmtk_python.txt file in the
release of VMTK and run configure_file on,  this way people can get started
with out having to create their own script (and burn time trying to figure
out which paths and env vars vmtk needs to do it's magic) as I did in my
source tree to do just this.

and

superbuild doesn't have an explicit INSTALL target.
<<<<

Don't you think it should?  I mean vmtk is not the only thing I am building
in my source tree... it's just one component.

I was impressed that I was able to get most of the centerlines of
vasculature network on a data set I was working on.  Just not sure why it
needs and initial cut plane for the opening as a requirement.  I am not
doing CFD so for me it seemed like an extra (manual) step I am not sure I
need in my pipeline, not that I have tried it without
this recommended step.

Thanks
