[Paraview] Dodgy Characters in XML/Python causing failure

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

I was using 4.7.1 - but it was a downloaded binary x64 bit from some place I don't remember.

After much waiting, I now have a 4.7.4 compiled natively x64 on this machine and I'm pleased to say that all the errors have disappeared. Python shell works normally and CoProcessing Export state also works - as does the normal save state to pvsm

That's very fishy. But this is good start. I kept on seeing these errors on some random dashboards and never was sure why. At least we now have a starting point. Guessing this is a windows machine? What version of Qt?
