[Paraview] paraview.simple

Tue Aug 22 10:46:16 EDT 2017

Oops, I failed to change the version number in the line I gave you,
but caught that and corrected it, just not quite to the right version
number.

Try

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-5.3

Basically, you have to set the PYTHONPATH to where the lib*Python.so
files are located. Make sure
/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-5.3
exists and confirm that a file starting with libvtkCommonCorePython27
is there.

Stepping back a bit, you wouldn't have to do any of this PYTHONPATH
stuff if you just add

/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/bin

to your PATH.

HTH,
Cory
