[Paraview] ParaView python in a generic python

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Hi Alan,

here is the way I do it when I code stuff in Sublime Text and directly
execute code within the editor.

import sys
pv_path = '/Users/seb/work/code/ParaView/build-ninja'
sys.path.append('%s/lib' % pv_path)
sys.path.append('%s/lib/site-packages' % pv_path)

from paraview.simple import *
