[Paraview] wxpython and paraview 3.98

[pellegrini]

Hello everybody,

I just started recently to work with paraview. It looks great. I 
installed the latest version (3.98) on a windows 7 64 bit machine.
I faced troubles when trying to use the wxpython backend. You will find 
enclosed the scripts that triggered the troubles:

Here they are:

     - wxpython is not shipped by default with paraview (an import wx in 
the python shell failed). So, I had to install it by myself
       in C:\Program Files (x86)\ParaView 
3.98.0\lib\paraview-3.98\site-packages. Is this normal ?

     - the standard wxpython installation process with the creation of a 
wx.pth file in the aformentionned directory seems to be
       broken. Indeed, an import wx still failed. To make it work, I had 
to add the following awful hack at the beginning of my script:

       ##################################
       import os
       import sys
       if os.name == 'nt':
sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(sys.exec_prefix),'lib','paraview-3.98','site-packages','wx-2.8-msw-unicode')) 

       ##################################

      This hack does more or less doing what is normally done with the 
standard .pth files process. Is this also something known ?

     - when ran in command line with the python console shipped with 
paraview (pvpython.exe) the script works. When ran in
       paraview through the macros process, the contents of the 
ellipsoids.txt file is not flushed on the listbox. The problem seems to
       be related with the opening of the 'ellipsoids.txt' file and also 
occured on an ubuntu machine ? Very weird.

     - when I used the docstring with the following format:
           '''blablabla
           '''
       the script can not be executed from paraview. I have to format 
them as they are in the enclosed scripts ?

for all these reasons, I have the feeling that the python shipped with 
paraview is not a standard one or something is done on top of it.
Am I right ?

Would you have any idea of what is going wrong with my script (or with 
paraview) ?

thank you very much
