[Paraview] Python Error in Python Shell

[Mike Jackson]

I have narrowed this down some more and the python loading mechanism  
looks for the *python.so files in the same directory as paraview.  
Within the App bundle the mechanism should probably be looking in lib  
or plugins instead. Anyone know which source file sets this search path?

thanks
