[Paraview] What is the difference between pvbatch and pvpython ?

[David E DeMarle]

pvpython isn't MPI parallel and it is interactive. You have to connect to a
parallel pvserver to work with big data, but on the other hand you can type
into it and see things happen as you do in the GUI.

pvbatch is MPI parallel and it isn't interactive. You can mpiexec it to use
it for large data, but it doesn't have a command line and only accepts a
script via the batch line.
