[Paraview] paraview.simple and generic python

[Patrick O'Leary]

Dear Alan,

Sebastien recently posted this:

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 *

Where pv_path is the path to the ParaView build. This seems to work well
for me. Can you give it a try?

Best regards,
Patrick
