Before starting

Ensure that you have performed the steps from the "Getting Started" section of ParaView/Python Scripting. More concretely, you must have setup the variable PYTHONPATH to the indicated initial value to avoid some missing packages when using Programmable Filters.

Linux

You must add this to your .bashrc to run anything in a ProgrammableFilter.

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/doriad/bin/ParaView/Utilities/VTKPythonWrapping/site-packages #fixes "no module named paraview"
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/doriad/bin/ParaView/bin #fixes "ImportError: No module named libvtkCommonPython"

Note that for older versions of ParaView the first line may need to be replaced by:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/doriad/bin/ParaView/Utilities/VTKPythonWrapping
