[Paraview] paraview.simple

[Cory Quammen]

Hi Guillermo,

I think the content in that wiki page is outdated.

Try setting PYTHONPATH to the following in your .bashrc

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-
OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/python2.7/site-packages

See if that works and let us know,
Cory
