[Bug 43095] Re: Mayavi does not start (dependency problem ?)

[Jérémie Corbier]

In fact libvtkPatentedPython was shared library (/usr/lib/libvtkPatentedPython.so) which is not built anymore (and the Patent dir has been removed from the source tarball) due to an incompatibility with the Debian Free Software Guidelines (see README.debian).

This should be handled by:

try:
    from patented import *
    kits.append('patented')
except ImportError, exc:
    __helper.refine_import_err('patented', exc)

but refine_import_err tries to remove sys.modules['vtk.patented'] which is not defined.
