[Paraview] Loading a Plugin from a Python-Script in 3.6.1

[Bernhard Gschaider]

Hi!

I'm trying to update a pvpython-script from 3.4 to 3.6.1

Amongst other things it should load a Plugin. The plugin loads
perfectly over the GUI, but when I try to do it from the script it
fails with this message:

  File "/home/bgschaid/Development/OpenFOAM/Python/PyFoam/PyFoam/Paraview/ServermanagerWrapper.py", line 41, in __init__
    servermanager.LoadPlugin(path.join(p,plug1))
  File "/home/openfoam/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6/paraview-3.6.1/platforms/linux64Gcc/Utilities/VTKPythonWrapping/paraview/servermanager.py", line 2094, in LoadPlugin
    if not parser.Parse(f.read()):
TypeError: function takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)

I tried replacing the call to servermanager.LoadPlugin with the
equivalent call in simple, but obviously this goes through the
servermanager and fails with the same message.

As far as I could tell from the servermanager.py the actual loading of
the Plugin fails before that and in that line it tries to interpret
the given file as an XML-File as a fallback.

The script fails on Linux and MacOS X. Calling LoadPlugin from the
Python-Shell in paraview also fails.

I noticed that the part about loading plugins is missing from
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/ParaView/Python_Scripting

Does this mean that it is currently not supported?
