Hi Anouk, Ben, right, although there might be a chance that just doing system('vmtk vmtksurfaceviewer -ifile foo.vtp');
might work, i.e. just specify the pipe right after the call to the vmtk script - the one that makes pypepad show up (above I just wrote "vmtk", but whatever you used that launched pypepad is fine).
