Summary0014999: Bug in vtkLoadPythonTkWidgets.py with Tk 8.6
DescriptionThe following script:

import Tkinter
import vtk.tk.vtkTkRenderWidget

# create root window
root = Tkinter.Tk()

# Create 2 panes
pane1=vtk.tk.vtkTkRenderWidget.vtkTkRenderWidget(root)
pane2=vtk.tk.vtkTkRenderWidget.vtkTkRenderWidget(root)

Fails with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 9, in <module>
    pane2=vtk.tk.vtkTkRenderWidget.vtkTkRenderWidget(root)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/vtk/tk/vtkTkRenderWidget.py", line 81, in __init__
    vtkLoadPythonTkWidgets(master.tk)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/vtk/tk/vtkLoadPythonTkWidgets.py", line 15, in vtkLoadPythonTkWidgets
    if string.find(loaded, pkgname) >= 0:
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/string.py", line 361, in find
    return s.find(*args)
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'find'

I think this is because the interface of the Tk function loaded has changed, and now returns a tuple, whereas previously it returned a string:

This is on the following system:

Python 2.7.6
Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Tkinter: __version__ = "$Revision: 81008 $"
Tk: 8.6.0+6ubuntu3
VTK: 5.8.0

 Bug confirmed. Confusingly, it only occurs if other tcl packages were loaded by Tkinter before the vtkTkRenderWidget.
