Description

VTK 8.1.2 (https://pypi.org/project/vtk/#files)
in Anaconda with Python 3.7 is crashing. Tested on Windows 10.
This can be shown in a very simple way just install
pip install vtk
and then run one of the Python examples e.g. https://vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Python/Cylinder
python vtk_cylinder.py
And you will see a window appearing and disappearing very fast (crashing).
Seems like a major issue to me.
Let me know if there is an alternative installation with Anaconda and Py3.7.
Thanks!

Research direction

Reproduce the crash on Windows 10 with Anaconda and Python 3.7 by installing VTK with pip and running the VTK Python Cylinder example. Investigate the package or installation compatibility implicated by that setup; done means the example no longer crashes or the supported installation limitation is documented.
