Hi Cory,

I have made a purge of paraview, reinstalled the 5.3 version, as I 
indicated on the first email, but the result is the same,  it does not 
work and the message is the same as in the beginning. Also, the libs you 
indicated to me are not present.

Actually, I really need to use this python script and I do not have too 
much time to spend on it, so I decided to downgrade to 5.0.1 version.

In a near future, 1-1.5 month, I will try it again, as I want to upgrade 
to a newer version. I will let you know if I experiment any issue.

Sorry for the inconveniences,

Really grateful,

Guillermo S.
