[Paraview-developers] Making python a requirement

[Moreland, Kenneth]

In systems where shared object libraries are not supported, compiling Python can be a pain.  It therefore sometimes handy to turn off compiling with Python if you don't need it.

I'm not suggesting we do this right now, but I'm curious, is there anybody who objects to making python a requirement for building paraview?  Does anyone deploy paraview with python off?

If you set static build + python, cmake will complain, but in fact static builds with python work fine.

Hi

I have an issue that I am not sure how to solve, I was wondering if someone could help me please:

I am trying to compile Paraview on windows platform using visual studio, I have QT and VTK  installed correctly but when I compile the source code I get an error which says it can not find Python.h library, the issue here is that when I CMake'd the source code I didn't check the option for the python scripting therefore I am not sure why I am getting such an error, that would be unless some other parts of Paraview is using Python.h. How can I solve this problem so the compilation can contiiue!? do I need to download python? is there a specific library that I need to download for visual studio? any help is really appreciated!
