[Paraview] Problems loading plugins in pvpython

[David E DeMarle]

I've seen this happen when:
* i was working under windows
* i was using an external python shell (idle)

The exact same script ran find under pvpython AND the python shell
within the client. The same script (with path changed appropriately)
on my mac build works fine.
