Reading vtk binary data

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. import pyvtk
2. data = pyvtk.VtkData('data.vtk') # This is a binary structured_points dataset

I see that this raises a NotImplemented error.  I am mostly curious to know if 
there are plans to support this in the near term.  I couldn't find a mailing 
list so hopefully this will reach the right people.  

If there aren't plans to implement it, would it be possible to point me in the 
right direction and I'd be happy to take a swing at it.

Thanks,
Sam Skillman

As of date, reading and writing binary data is supported.

Re-opening this, is it really solved? I see in https://github.com/pearu/pyvtk/blob/master/pyvtk/__init__.py#L220 raise NotImplementedError('reading vtk binary format'). Just to make sure before I go ahead to write the reader by myself (maybe).
