It looks like you need to add the VTKPythonWrapping directory to your Python
path. In linux, you would add this to your ~/.bashrc

export
PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/doriad/bin/ParaView3/Utilities/VTKPythonWrapping

In Windows, you have to go into wherever you can edit the system variables
and do the same type of thing. Maybe a Windows user can direct you further
if you can't find it.

Thanks,

David
