Tried installing libvtk*Python.so by hand, but that ended up producing the following unmet dependencies:

    paraview-3.12.0-2.fc17.i686 requires libvtkmyUnsortedPythonD.so
    paraview-3.12.0-2.fc17.i686 requires libvtkmyUnsorted.so
    paraview-3.12.0-2.fc17.i686 requires libvtkmyImagingPythonD.so
    paraview-3.12.0-2.fc17.i686 requires libvtkmyImaging.so
    paraview-3.12.0-2.fc17.i686 requires libvtkmyCommonPythonD.so
    paraview-3.12.0-2.fc17.i686 requires libvtkmyCommon.so
    paraview-3.12.0-2.fc17.i686 requires libvtkLocalPythonD.so
    paraview-3.12.0-2.fc17.i686 requires libvtkLocal.so

This approach seems like a bit of a rabbit hole. Any progress?

Actually, it is the vtk*Python.so libraries that fail to install, not libvtk*Python.so. Also needed to put vtkPV*Python.so into site-packages/paraview and the rest in site-packages/paraview/vtk. Confusing. Would very much like to see this fixed by the next release.
