For a visualisation class I’m taking, I need to use VTK, and as I’m more familiar with Python than C++ I hope to use the python VTK interface. However, I’m unable to install VTK because it is not compatible with Python 3.9. I have many other programs and software installed that rely on Python 3.9 so hence do not want to downgrade. Is there any info on when VTK will be made compatible with Python 3.9, or where to put this request? Any others that were able to work around this problem? Thanks in advance!

We’re now building VTK wheels for Python 3.9 regularly. The next step is to upload them (as prereleases) to PyPI weekly or so.
