[Paraview] How to use the Find Data function with a client/server connection?

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Raphael,

Find Data requires that Python with a working NumPy is available on
the server side. Is that not the case by any chance? To test, just
create a Python "Programmable Source" and in the Script, use something
like:

import numpy
print numpy
