[Paraview] Load Python module from Kitware releases

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Here's what I did:

> set PATH=C:\Program Files\ParaView 3.6.1\bin;C:\Program Files\ParaView 3.6.1\lib\paraview-3.6;%PATH%
> set PYTHONPATH=C:\Program Files\ParaView 3.6.1\bin;C:\Program Files\ParaView 3.6.1\lib\paraview-3.6;
> python.exe
>>> from paraview.simple import *

That worked for me, with no errors.
