[Paraview] python error when importing paraview.simple with paraview 5.0

[sean read]

Wait, check that, so adding  ".../lib/paraview-5.0" did fix the problem
with python, but it has had other negative side effects. Now when I open
certain filetypes in vim (so far that I've checked, .py, .tex, .bib, which
are all types for which I have customised options) the terminal window
shows strange text. For example:

 "exim.py" 258L, 6565CTraceback (most recent call last):
                                                         File
"/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 563, in <module>

                                         main()

                                                 File
"/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 545, in main


                             known_paths = addusersitepackages(known_paths)



 File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 272, in addusersitepackages
                                                               user_site =
getusersitepackages())



After this it becomes unresponsive and I have to close the terminal. I am
not entirely familiar with the use of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, is there any
reason that this alteration would effect the operation of vim?
