[Paraview] pvpython and f2py

[Weirs, V Gregory]

Another wrinkle is that the PYTHONPATH the programmable filter sees is on the server machine and not the client. So your streamfunc.so has to be on the server machine. If you are running the builtin server it won't matter, but it is still useful information for the thread's sake.

Also, you might put the PYTHONPATH in the text box at the bottom of the properties panel of the programmable filter.

Hey Peter,

Maybe the problem is that the PYTHONPATH that the programmable filter knows doesn't contain your module?

Try adding at the beginning of your Programmable Filter:

import sys
sys.path.append('/Dir/of/your/library')

so it can see things in your library directory and see if your import statement works after that.

I don't know the "real" way, offhand, to include new directories in the PYTHONPATH of the programmable filter (i.e. I don't know if the PYTHONPATH environment variable affects the PPF).

Hi Eric,

I'm use Fedora 11 64-bit.  I tried a few more things so maybe this will help.  Using f2py gives me a .so file (streamfunc.so) which I can then import in a pvpython script using:

import streamfunc

My problem is that I have a programmable filter which needs this module but when I import it in my programmable filter script I get the error:

ImportError: No module named streamfunc

So it seems the problem is with the programmable filter and not with pvpython itself.

Hey Peter,

What platform are you using and how are you trying to import the .so file? On my Mac, any of the VTK libraries (my own or original VTK) which are wrapped in Python end up as .so files, and they load just fine. What is python saying when it "doesn't seem to recognize" them?

Talk to you later,

Using pvpython I can get the data I need, and using f2py I can wrap my fortran subroutine but I can only get f2py to create a .so file which pvpython doesn't seem to recognize when I try to import it as a module.  Can someone tell me how to either:
