[Paraview] ParaViewSocketPlugin

[Pat Marion]

Yes, you can send information back through the socket.  If you're using the
socket to invoke python code, then any string returned by your python code
will be written to the socket.  But, by default the python handler method
doesn't return anything.  If you edit pqPythonSocketHandler.cxx, you can
change the python handler function that is used.  Just put some code like
this at the top of onSocketReadReady():

  PyObject* mainModule = PyImport_AddModule("__main__");
  PyObject* mainDict = PyModule_GetDict(mainModule);
  this->Internal->Callback = PyDict_GetItemString(mainDict, "myFunction");

That will make the socket forward the string to a python function you've
implemented called "myFunction()", and any string returned by that will be
written to the socket.
