[Paraview] Python modules.

[DParker at chromalloy.com]

I haven't had any success running the paraview package from my standard 
Python installation. However, I have done the reverse - use packages from 
my standard Python installation in pvpython. You can use path 
configuration files to automatically append to your pvpython path - see 
http://docs.python.org/library/site.html for details. Here's an example 
from my Windows box:

Go to your pvpython 3rd party site-packages directory. C:\Program Files 
(x86)\ParaView 3.8.1\bin\Lib on Windows.
Create a file named mypackage.pth (e.g. numpy.pth).
Edit the file and add the path to the package, escape the slashes: 
C:\\Python26\\Lib\\site-packages. If your installed package is an egg then 
you'll have to enter the path that leads you to an importable package: 
C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\networkx-1.2.dev-py2.6.egg

The path to the installed package will now be appended to your pvpython 
path automatically so you won't have to use sys.path.append everytime you 
launch Paraview.

Dear All,

Is it possible to add python modules to my path? I am working with Mac OS 
X.
When I use the pvpthon command inside the Paraview folder and do "from 
paraview.simple import *" it works pretty good, but If I do from outside 
the Paraview folder does not work.
If anyone knows how to do this, please help.

Best Regards,

Jorge López_______________________________________________
