I want to use CSG with VTK in python to perform substractions.
I already have VTK installed.

For the CSG I was thinking to install: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycsg .

How would I go around using it for custom PolyDatas in order to substract one object from another? I don't mind if it's a bit slow or I have to export data to a .STL file.

I am already aware of the vtkBooleanOperationPolyDataFilter, but it is simply not good enough for what I need, so maybe CSG will do the subtractions better.
