[Paraview] Import error with programmable filter

[Pat Marion]

Could you try running this test script with pvpython like this:

$ cat test.py
from paraview.simple import *
f = ProgrammableSource()
f.Script = 'print "something"'
f.UpdatePipeline()


$ /Applications/paraview.app/Contents/bin/pvpython test.py
something

Does that work?
