[Paraview] Dose pvpython work with python 3.x ?

[Cory Quammen]

Python 3 support should be officially supported in the next release,
sometime in spring 2017.

You can experimentally build ParaView's development version with
Python 3 using the following settings (taken from a build on Ubuntu):

PYTHON_EXECUTABLE             /usr/bin/python3
PYTHON_EXTRA_LIBS
PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR            /usr/include/python3.5m
PYTHON_LIBRARY                /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.5m.so
PYTHON_UTIL_LIBRARY           /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libutil.so
VTK_PYTHON_VERSION                3

ParaViewWeb won't work, because it depends on Twisted server which is
still python2, so make sure ParaViewWeb is disabled.

You may also need to install on Ubuntu the following:

sudo apt-get install python2-dev python3-dev

python3.5m gets installed by python3 package

Thanks,
Cory
