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

[Scott, W Alan]

Another way to find out if you have python and numpy on the server side is to run ParaView, and connect to your remote server.  Then, Help/ About/ Connection Information.  This will show you where Numpy and Python are, whether you even have Numpy, and finally versions of both.  If you don't have Numpy, as Utkarsh says, that's the problem.

As a side issue, you may want to update to PV 4.3.1.  There were a lot of bugs that were squashed in the new version.

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
