[Paraview] importing paraview.simple in python on mac

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Including the script inline this time:

----------------------------------------------------------------
# Path to look for missing *.dyld files under.
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH="/Users/utkarsh/Desktop/paraview4.1.0.app/Contents/Libraries"

# Path to look for missing *.so files under.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/Users/utkarsh/Desktop/paraview4.1.0.app/Contents/Libraries"

# Path to look for missing frameworks under.
export DYLD_FALLBACK_FRAMEWORK_PATH="/Users/utkarsh/Desktop/paraview4.1.0.app/Contents/Frameworks"

# Path where Python should find Python Modules and Packages.
export PYTHONPATH=/Users/utkarsh/Desktop/paraview4.1.0.app/Contents/Python:/Users/utkarsh/Desktop/paraview4.1.0.app/Contents/Libraries

# Now run Python.
python2.6
