[Paraview] python scripts

[Patrick Shinpaugh]

I created the script you posted. The results of each are displayed below:

pvpython ~/paraview-test-path.py
['/home/project', '/usr/local/ParaView-3.2.2/lib/paraview-3.2', 
'/usr/lib/python25.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.5', 
'/usr/lib/python2.5/plat-linux2',
'/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload', 
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages', 
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Numeric',
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL', 
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gst-0.10', 
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0']

pvbatch ~/paraview-test-path.py
['/home/project', '/usr/local/ParaView-3.2.2/lib/paraview-3.2', 
'/usr/lib/python25.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.5', 
'/usr/lib/python2.5/plat-linux2',
/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload', 
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages', 
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Numeric',
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL', 
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gst-0.10', 
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0']

from paraview gui - tools/python shell/run script
['/usr/local/ParaView-3.2.2/lib/paraview-3.2', '/usr/lib/python25.zip', 
'/usr/lib/python2.5', '/usr/lib/python2.5/plat-linux2',
'/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk', /usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload', 
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages', 
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Numeric',
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL', 
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gst-0.10', 
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0']

Interestingly, the only difference is the home directory at the 
beginning for pvbatch/pvpython...

Any ideas?
