[Paraview] Example project: vtk libraries, python wrappers, paraview plugin

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

I am thinking the problem is stemming from the non-traditional module
"AutobahnPython". It doesn't generate the module cmake file. That
needs to be fixed. In the mean time, you can try retry the same by
turning off PARAVIEW_ENABLE_WEB cmake flag, and verify.
