[Paraview] importing paraview.simple in python on mac

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

If you want to use Python27, download the
"ParaView-4.1.0-Darwin-64bit-Lion-Python27.dmg" binary. You're using
the one built forPython 2.6.

Attached is a script I use to run ParaView with Python 2.6. Simply
update the script to point to directories on your machine and then run
"python2.7" instead of python2.6". Hope that helps.
