[Paraview] Re: Python interface differences between ParaView 2.6 and ParaView III

[Fabian Braennstroem]

Hi Milan,

I am actually interested in using python together with paraview too;
unfortunately I was not able to run any small python example until
now (by the way, the only example I found was the small example for
version III on the wiki).I looks like that I have to compile
paraview for using python; at least I could not find it in the
latest snapshot an in  2.6. Do you have any hints about using python
together with paraview? Maybe, you got some small understandable
examples?
Would be nice!
Fabian
