[Paraview] python and *.vtk

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

There's a bug in 3.8.0 in OpenDataFile() which will be fixed in 3.8.1
(already fixed in release branch). Use the attached script as a
sample. It has a newer fixed version of OpenDataFile().

The second sample you used was incorrect since you are mixing
VTK-python  scripting with ParaView's python scripting.
