[Paraview] Import error with programmable filter

[Colin McAuliffe]

This works, the difference is if I run

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

it works but

pvpython test.py

gives the import error and the same is true of my other script. I  
guess there is something wrong with my pvpython environmental variable.

Thanks for the help!
