[Paraview] Import error with programmable filter

[Colin McAuliffe]

I can get the path for the main script but not for the programmable  
filter because of the import error.

There is

/Applications/ParaView.app/Contents/Python
/Applications/ParaView.app/Contents/Libraries
/Applications/ParaView.app/Contents/bin

in the path for the main script. Is there anything missing?
