I am not sure I understand your question. Your script is ok. You can check
your build/install directory and make sure you do have "smtkCorePython"
there.

Check your PYTHONPATH environment, make sure you did not accidentally
included a path from older smtk build (which will explain why the
"SMTKCorePython" lib is pulled in). From a python shell, you can run

help('modules')

You should see smtkCorePython listed there. If you see SMTKCorePython
instead, your PYTHONPATH is including an older smtk build/install.
