Yup, that's doable, the following example works for me. if you haven't 
done so yet you might want to browse through the "simple.py" script. 
There are numerous helper functions defined and it also gives some idea 
about python capabilities and the underlying infrastructure.

from paraview.simple import *
ws=Wavelet()
Show(ws)
Render()
w=XMLPImageDataWriter()
w.FileName = 'test.pvti'
w.UpdatePipeline()
