[Paraview] Script driven paraview

[Timothy Cale]

Utkarsh:

Thanks! Works!

I had tried that: I thought it had not worked, because it (python?,
pvpython?) did not print to the screen from a test script.

Is there a way to print info to the screen (or to a specified file)? When I
use "Run Script" (to run show_vtu.py) from the python shell that is started
when Tools -> Python Shell is manually selected, prints to the screen work.

Thanks,
Tim
