Hi,

If i import the `itk.ImageToVTKFilter()`, I get the error:  
`AttributeError: module 'itk.ITKVtkGluePython' has no attribute 'swig' `

I am using:

- itk==5.1.0.post3
- vtk==8.1.2
- itk-vtkglue==0.3.0

How can i solve this error?  
All packages are installed using pip.  
( `pip install --upgrade itk-vtkglue`)

Kind regards,  
Simon

Hi Simon,

The `itk-vtkglue` module is not available for `itk-5.1`. Please help test this function, `itk.vtk_image_from_image` , which will ship with `itk-5.2`:

Hi, Matt,

Many thanks for the quick response.  
I’m integrating the function.
