[Paraview] paraview.simple and generic python

[Scott, W Alan]

I have a user that wants to use ParaView from within generic python (not pvpython).  Unfortunately, I am somewhat struggling.  Does anyone have any ideas?

I am running the version of Python that was used to build ParaView (i.e., probably no version mismatch).

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH  .../Python-2.7.5/lib/
setenv PYTHONPATH  ....paraview-install/lib/paraview-4.1/site-packages

..../Python-2.7.5/bin/python

Python 2.7.5 (default, Jun 17 2013, 15:20:04)
[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> from paraview.simple import *
Error: Could not import vtkCommonComputationalGeometryPython
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "..../lib/paraview-4.1/site-packages/paraview/simple.py", line 41, in <module>
    import servermanager
  File "..../lib/paraview-4.1/site-packages/paraview/servermanager.py", line 48, in <module>
    import paraview, re, os, os.path, new, sys, atexit, vtk
  File "..../lib/paraview-4.1/site-packages/paraview/vtk/__init__.py", line 7, in <module>
    from vtkCommonCorePython import *
ImportError: No module named vtkCommonCorePython
>>>

So, my question is, where does vtkCommonCorePython come from?  There isn't a vtkCommonCorePython.py in the tree, but is a ..../lib/paraview-4.1/site-packages/vtk/vtkCommonCorePython.so.  How does this get linked in?

Thanks,

Alan Scott
