[Paraview] Loading XML configuration file from pvpython

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Tim,

`LoadXMLConfiguration` is intended to parse xml text itself, not a file
name. You should be able to use the `simple.LoadPlugin` for xml plugins
instead, as follows:

> from paraview.simple import *
> LoadPlugin("../my_plugin.xml", False, globals())
