Hi,  
I am trying to do parallele rendering in python but I am having trouble finding a solution. Neither vtkParallelRenderManager() nor vtkCompositeManager() work in python. Does anybody have another solution ?

Claire,  
For parallel rendering and processing already implemented take a look at ParaView and its Python API.

The API is simpler than VTK and closely matches what you do in the interface. You can also trace you UI actions and generate Python code.
