<div>I have a user that wants to use ParaView from within generic python (not pvpython). Unfortunately, I am somewhat struggling. Does anyone have any ideas?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am running the version of Python that was used to build ParaView (i.e., probably no version mismatch).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH .../Python-2.7.5/lib/</div>
<div>setenv PYTHONPATH ....paraview-install/lib/paraview-4.1/site-packages</div>
<div> </div>
<div>..../Python-2.7.5/bin/python </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Python 2.7.5 (default, Jun 17 2013, 15:20:04) </div>

<div> from vtkCommonCorePython import *</div>
<div>ImportError: No module named vtkCommonCorePython</div>
<div>>>></div>
<div> </div>
<div>So, my question is, where does vtkCommonCorePython come from? There isn’t a vtkCommonCorePython.py in the tree, but is a ..../lib/paraview-4.1/site-packages/vtk/vtkCommonCorePython.so. How does this get linked in?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
