[Paraview] Server Manager and Python wrapping

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi Wiktor,

Currently ParaView server manager can be used only through the python
interpreter build in ParaView called pvpython. This is a regular full
featured python interpreter that initializes MPI and ServerManager.

Ok, as far as example goes, should be something like this:

import libvtkPVServerManagerPython
pvsm = libvtkPVServerManagerPython

foo = pvsm.vtkSMObject()
proxyManager = foo.GetProxyManager()
smApplication = foo.GetApplication()

pvTemp542 = proxyManager.NewProxy("sources", "P3DReader")
proxyManager.RegisterProxy("sources", "pvTemp542", pvTemp542)
pvTemp542.GetProperty("FileName").SetElement(0, "/some/file/name.xyz")
pvTemp542.GetProperty("QFileName").SetElement(0, "/some/file/name.q")
pvTemp542.UpdateVTKObjects()

and so on.
