[Paraview] paraview.simple

Hi Cory,

It works perfectly. I can use paraview 5.3 version without any problem 
(I can use it as I normally do).

The problem results when executing the python script from the Ubuntu's 
terminal.

Thank you very much.

ASAP I will try to install the v5.3 and I will let you know if I 
encounter any problem.

Cheers,

Guillermo
