'pysplishsplash.Exec.SimulatorBase' object has no attribute 'VTK_EXPORT'

Hi
I want to run the following code in the documentation. It intends to run the python binding with VTK output.

import pysplishsplash as sph
from pysplishsplash.Extras import Scenes
import os

def main():
    base = sph.Exec.SimulatorBase()
    output_dir = os.path.abspath("where/you/want/the/data")
    base.init(useGui=False, outputDir=output_dir, sceneFile=Scenes.DoubleDamBreak)
    base.setValueFloat(base.STOP_AT, 20.0) # Important to have the dot to denote a float
    base.setValueBool(base.VTK_EXPORT, True)
    # Uncomment the next line to set the output FPS value (must be float)
    # base.setValueFloat(base.DATA_EXPORT_FPS, 10000.) 
    base.run()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

However, I got this error.

The correct command is:

base.activateExporter("VTK Exporter", True)

You can also take a look at the example: complex_scene.py

Thanks!
One sugguestion: Maybe your documentation should be updated, especially the part about python binding...

It is on our long ToDo-list. However, the examples should give you a hint how to use the interface,

Good! Looking forward to your progress.
