Did you download or build ParaView? You probably need to build ParaView
against the Python in the Anaconda distribution to make this work. That's a
guess - I haven't tried this.

The Python interpreter in ParaView is embedded. You should be able to add
to the path using

sys.path.append('/file/path')
