Cobject is part of the Python core, but it isn't very well-known (nor 
widely used). I've always felt that it needs more support. For one 
thing it would be really good if various (all, really) wrapper packages 
would
1. Return unknown pointers as Cobjects
2. Allow Cobjects as initializers to any object creation method.

Together these two would allow you to pass pointers back and forth 
between extension modules that are unaware of each other. In your case 
you would get the vtk object back as a Cobject, which you could then 
coerce into a VTK renderer object.
