[Paraview] Paraview with Python 3 make install failed to find six.pyc

[Mauro Fontana]

Hi Quang,

The exact same thing happened to me a few weeks ago while building Paraview
5.4 with Python3.

To solve it you need to move and rename some files because Python's
convention for naming precompiled code changed in Python3. In my case, I
could see the precompiled files
in paraview_build/lib/site-packages/__pycache__ (where paraview_build is,
of course, my building dir). You'll probably find two files in there, named
*six.cpython-PYVER.pyc* and *six.cpython-PYVER.opt-1.pyc* (PYVER is your
version of python, 35 in my case, for 3.5). You need to move them to
*../six.pyc* and *../six.pyo* (note the ../ meaning they end up in the
site-packages directory, not __pycache__).

With that manual changes, make installed worked like a charm.

Hope it helps you.

Cheers,
Mauro Fontana
