Thanks for your help Adriano!

Unfortunately, I get something different:

 >>> clipper.GetProperty('ClipType')
<paraview.servermanager.Plane object at 0x6e839b0>

> //set the clip type to plane
> clipper.ClipType = Plane

When I try that I get:

 >>> clipper.ClipType = Plane
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
   File "/Users/kitware/ParaViewReleases/ParaView-3.6/ParaView3Bin/ 
Utilities/VTKPythonWrapping/paraview/servermanager.py", line 203, in  
__setattr__
   File "/Users/kitware/ParaViewReleases/ParaView-3.6/ParaView3Bin/

SetData
TypeError: function takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)

I also tried:

 >>> clipper.ClipType = servermanager.Plane
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Plane'

> //to set the properties of the plane
> clipper.ClipType.Origin = [10.0,0.0,5.0]
> clipper.ClipType.Normal = [1,0,0]


When I tried that I get:

 >>> clipper.ClipType.Origin = [10.0,0.0,5.0]
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Origin'


I set my PYTHON path to point to the ParaView python functions:

export PYTHONPATH=/Applications/paraview-3.6.1-Darwin-i386/lib/ 
paraview-3.6/paraview/vtk:$PYTHONPATH


Is there anything else I need to import or set?
