On Linux, I was able to import the ctk module doing the following:

$ cd /path/to/CTK-build/CTK-build/bin
$ PYTHONPATH=./Python/ python
>> import ctk
>> import pprint as pp
>> pp.pprint(dir(ctk))
['QAbstractButton',
 'QAbstractItemModel',
 [...]
 '__builtins__',
 '__doc__',
 '__file__',
 '__name__',
 '__package__',
 '__path__',
 'ctkActionsWidget',
 'ctkAddRemoveComboBox',
 'ctkAxesWidget',
 'ctkBasePopupWidget',
 'ctkButtonGroup',
 'ctkCallback',
 'ctkCheckBox',
 'ctkCheckBoxPixmaps',
 'ctkCheckableComboBox',
 'ctkCheckablePushButton',
 'ctkCollapsibleButton',
 'ctkCollapsibleGroupBox',
