[Paraview] PYTHONPATH for prebuilt MAC OSX Paraview

[pat marion]

The 'paraview' directory is the module.  Python treats directories that
contain a __init__.py file as modules.  So you want your python path to
contain "/Applications/ParaView 3.10.1.app/Contents/Python", and drop the
/paraview ending.

But, I recommend you use pvpython instead of python.  The paraview python
modules may not be compatible with your system python.  Using pvpython also
ensures that all paths are set correctly, so you don't need to set
PYTHONPATH.  You can find pvpython at:

  /Applications/ParaView\ 3.10.1.app/Contents/bin/pvpython

If you want to try system python, you need to:

export PYTHONPATH=/Applications/ParaView\
3.10.1.app/Contents/Python:/Applications/ParaView\
3.10.1.app/Contents/Libraries
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Applications/ParaView\
3.10.1.app/Contents/Libraries

I'm not sure it will work for you though.  On my system, python aborts when
the modules are loaded.
