[Paraview] Re: Python interface differences between ParaView 2.6 and ParaView III

[Milan Frank]

Hi Fabian,

you are right, you have to switch on the ParaView embed Python
support. It is the PARAVIEW_WRAP_PYTHON cmake constant (in PV 2.6).
Then it is necessary to use the pvpython.exe as the python
interpreter. The wiki example should work ;-)

Good luck!
Milan.
