Fedora dnf python3-vtk version is almost three years old

Hi,

Just wondering if you advise to use the pip version of python3-vtk, rather than the one from dnf which seems to be a bit old at this point.

Kitware does not maintain the Fedora package (though @opoplawski is involved and we answer questions as we can).

If you only need the Python interfaces, then the wheel should be suitable.

Ah ok good to know

Updating vtk in Fedora is a heavy task and I’m overloaded. F44 will have 9.5.2. It’s also not possible to do an update in a stable release (at least that I’m aware of).
