What version of VTK does conda provide? VTK 9.2.2?

Please not that autocompletion will not work if you import vtk into your program with “`import vtk`”. Instead, you must use

```python
import vtkmodules.all as vtk

```

or import classes individually as follows

```python
from vtkmodules.vtkCommonCore import vtkObject

```

This might be fixed in future releases of VTK.

Note that it has been fixed as of 9.2.4 at least.
