Just a quick update. We have of a simple VTK-based library that can be used as an example for VTK8/9 compatible Python wrapping by reusable generic macros: [vtkAddon](https://github.com/Slicer/vtkAddon). @jcfr has started to work on [VMTK](https://github.com/vmtk/vmtk), which is a quite big library, with superbuild, continuous build on github, Python wrapping, used within a C++ application (3D Slicer) and also distributed via PyPI. We expect it to be ready in a couple of weeks and it should serve as a good template for developing VTK9-based tools.
