I have encountered a problem when attempting to Run the Python script vtk_to_blender.py

WindowsXP Pro
Blender 245
Paraview 3.3.0
Python 2.5

Because the Python Script in Blender couldn't find the VTK Library, I Ran the following line:

##############
import sys
sys.path.append('D:\ParaViewRelease1659VS8Qt434\\U tilities\\VTKPythonWrapping\\paraview')
sys.path.append('D:\\ParaViewRelease1659VS8Qt434\\ bin\\release')
sys.path.append('D:\\ParaViewRelease1659VS8Qt434\\ Utilities\\VTKBlender')
##############

The problem occured on line 164 from the "vtk_to_blender.py" script
Error message as shown in the console:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "vtk_to_blender.py" line 164, in (module)
File "vtk_to_blender.py" line 23, in main
File "vtk_to_blender.py" line 124, in GetExtrudedline
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'vtkLineSource'

I have emailled the UofA regarding this and this is what I had in return.

Quote:
I suspect you need to
find the paraview directory that has the vtk Libraries in it and
add it to your PYTHONPATH with the sys.path.append() call.
I think the particular library with the vtkLineSource is
vtkGraphics.dll on windows.

On my coworkers window machines, the vtk dll's are found
in C:\Program Files\Paraview\bin, so maybe add the following
line:

sys.path.append('D:\\ParaViewRelease1659VS8Qt434\\ bin') 

After recieving this, the path "'D:\\ParaViewRelease1659VS8Qt434\\bin\\releas e'" does contain the vtkGraphics.dll and other Libraries. 

If the problem could be a missing library file, the following is what contains in that path.

The Following is the content of the "release" directory.
