[Paraview] PythonProgrammableFilters Multiple Input Ports

[Gaël Grail]

Hi Bane,

I'm using the binary version of Paraview available in Kitware's website, so
I don't know much about what should be written in the C code.
But in the xml, I'm using this and it works perfectly:

<ServerManagerConfiguration>
  <ProxyGroup name="filters">
    <SourceProxy class="vtkPythonProgrammableFilter"
                 label="toto"
                 name="To To">
  <InputProperty clean_command="RemoveAllInputs"
                     command="AddInputConnection"
                     multiple_input="2"
                     name="Inputs">
<ProxyGroupDomain name="groups">
<Group name="sources" />
<Group name="filters" />
  </ProxyGroupDomain>
  </InputProperty>
...

Hope this helps,

Gaël
