[Paraview-developers] Rendering in Paraview using python

[Andy Bauer]

Hi,

My guess is that the reader plugin is automatically loaded in the GUI but
not when you run pvpython directly. Look at the LoadPlugin() or
LoadDistributedPlugin() command in pvpython.

Are you setting PV_PLUGIN_PATH or PV_PLUGIN_CONFIG_FILE? Another guess may
be that you're using PV_PLUGIN_PATH and/or PV_PLUGIN_CONFIG_FILE to load
the plugin automatically through the GUI and that isn't being utilized when
running with pvpython. See http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo for
information on that.

Best,
Andy
