<div>Thanks,<br>
I guess I just wanted to simply import "paraview.simple" as I usually do with other modules that I get from pip. Perhaps I should run paraview scripts "externally" by using pvpython.<br>

<div>Thanks Shawn,<br>

I was just wondering, would it be possible for the developers to change the location of the paraview module such that adding the location of the module to the python path would not import all other site-packages? Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems to
me that this way we would be able to avoid these issues.<br>

<div>Forwarding to the list since I don't make these decisions. For what it is worth, I feel like it increases the maintenance burden on the developers too much for a niche use case.<br>
