[Paraview] ParaViewWeb, vtk filters python description

Please read that:

http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaViewWeb_Manta_setting

Then forget Manta and do your own "manta-init.py" file that will only
load your plugin... And that's it... (You can rename the file, just
make sure you keep the consistency.)
