[Paraview] How to use TkInter in paraview python shell ?

[Berk Geveci]

It sounds like you have to build your own version of ParaView using
your own Python. ParaView comes prepackaged with a subset of Python
and it is not trivial to add to it. Follow the instructions on the
ParaView wiki to build your own ParaView.
I considered not bundling Python with ParaView but that would require
all users to first install Python, which is not an ideal solution...
