[Paraview] ParaView python in a generic python

[Scott, W Alan]

I have two users that wants to use ParaView paraview.simple commands from a generic version of Python (i.e., not pvpython).  Are there any tricks to getting this to work?  One user is on a Mac, the other is on Linux.  As you can see, my user is having issues even importing paraview.simple.

Here is a copy of the errors the user is having:


>import sys
>sys.path
['/Applications/paraview.app/Contents/Python', '/Applications/paraview.app/Contents/Libraries', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python26.zip', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/plat-darwin', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/plat-mac', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC']

>From looking at this, I added '/Applications/paraview.app/Contents/Python' and '/Applications/paraview.app/Contents/Libraries' to my PYTHONPATH.  I also made a guess at which directory to add to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  Unfortunately, it did not work, as you can see below:

$ echo $PYTHONPATH
:/Applications/paraview.app/Contents/Libraries/:/Applications/paraview.app/Contents/Python

$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH :/Applications/paraview.app/Contents/Libraries/:/Applications/paraview.app/Contents/Python/vtk
$ python

>>> import paraview.simple

Thanks,
