[Paraview] Newbie question on Python Programmable Filters

Hi Frank,

I didn't have a problem with the following on my windows machine using the
ParaView 3.14.1 installer.
=======
try: paraview.simple

except: from paraview.simple import *

paraview.simple._DisableFirstRenderCameraReset()

Wavelet1 = Wavelet()

RenderView1 = GetRenderView()

ProgrammableFilter1 = ProgrammableFilter()

ProgrammableFilter1.PythonPath = ''

ProgrammableFilter1.RequestInformationScript = ''

ProgrammableFilter1.Script = 'x = inputs[0].PointData[\'RTData\']\nprint "x
shape =",x.shape\n\nm = x*x # I _thought_ this should run at numpy
speeds?\nprint "m shape=",m.shape\n\n# more debugging code to finish
computation of the norm omitted\n\noutput.PointData.append(m,"Displacement
Norm")'

Show()

Render()

=============

Does this work for you?  If it doesn't, I wonder if it's an issue with
having multiple pythons and numpy or system environments causing problems.
What version of paraview are you using and how did you get it
built/installed on your machine?

Andy
