[Paraview] Extending PythonManager to execute script from memory buffer rather than file (patch supplied)

[Pat Marion]

Hi Ian,

I added a note to the mantis issue.

I believe that it is already possible to execute python code from a string
(instead of a file) like this:

#include "pqPythonShell.h"
#include "pqPythonDialog.h"

pythonManager()->pythonShellDialog()->shell()->executeScript("print 'hello
world!'");

Pat
